Mets Take Home 3-1 Win Over Cleveland
In a low-scoring tilt between the New York Mets and the Cleveland Guardians, 29-year old right-handed pitcher Kelvim Escobar was the difference-maker. The New York right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. The win went to Bob Wickman in relief, making him now 4-5. Chien-Ming Wang took the loss for Cleveland. Cleveland has now lost 7 straight.

Had Eric Hinske not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Hinske hit a 2-run single. That made the score 3-1, in favor of the Mets.

"Things will change for us," said Cleveland manager Charlie Manuel. "When things change, we'll get clicking."
