Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Mets
Fans watched the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs fight to the finish.

Donny Leon had an impact in the 7-6 New York win over Chicago. The 32-year old catcher went 3 for 3 with 3 singles and 2 walks. Scott Vander Weg, now 4-4, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Eric Wordekemper, credited with the save, is now 14 for 16 in save opportunities.

Ben Grieve drove in one run for New York. The 13-year veteran had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Antonio Ashley. It was his 41st RBI of the season.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Grieve said after the game.

New York is now 40-49. Chicago is 45-45.
