The New York Mets dealt the Chicago Cubs a 6-5 loss at Wrigley Field. Mike Lieberthal was the star on offense. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs. The 4th-place Mets have a record of 33-32.

Chris Donnels drove in one run for New York. The 34-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Paul Quantrill. It was his 10th RBI of the season.

"Not the sexiest win," said Mets manager Chris Foley, "but I'll take it."
