Mets Make Rangers 7-3 Losers
New York shortstop Edgardo Alfonzo was a significant contributor in his team's 7-3 triumph over the Texas Rangers. He was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Mets. Picking up the save was Felix Rodriguez, his 21st. New York's record now stands at 48-68, placing them 26th in the Virtual Baseball League.

Alfonzo contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for New York in the top of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Alfonzo took a fastball from C.J. Wilson and stroked the home run to right-center. His 12th home run of the season allowed the Mets to leap in front, 2-1.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Alfonzo.
