Triples by Chris Arnold and Garry Maddox, who drove in two runs apiece, were the big blows in the fifth inning when the Giants scored six times to defeat the Mets, 9-4. Gary Matthews had two singles during the stanza and wound up the game with four hits in four times at bat, accounting for two RBIs. After their big inning, the Giants scored a run in the sixth and added the final pair in the seventh. Matthews drove in a run with a double and Arnold received credit for his third RBI of the game by drawing a walk with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
