The Mets scored two runs in the 12th inning to defeat the Giants, 6-5. The score was 4-4 when Joel Youngblood led off the Mets' 12th with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice and came home on a single by Alex Trevino. Singles by Willie Montanez and John Stearns gave the Mets the needed marker to offset a run by the Giants in their half of the 12th.
