A two-run homer by Mike Jorgensen in the sixth inning and a round-trip clout by Doug Flynn in the third powered the Mets to a 3-2 decision over the Giants. Ed Lynch limited the Giants to six hits over 7 2/3 innings before needing help from Neil Allen, who earned his fourth save. [The Sporting News]
