Mets Hold Off Athletics, 5-4
New York Mets starter Frank Castillo was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Oakland Athletics, 5-4. In 8 innings, Castillo surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs. At 42-37, New York is in third place in the United League East Division.

Lance Johnson said the idea of hitting a home run barely crossed his mind when he came to bat in the top of the seventh. Johnson belted a 3-run home run to stake New York to a 4-1 lead. His 2nd home run of the season came off Oakland pitcher Greg Hibbard.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Oakland manager JJ Williams. "The effort was great."
