Tight Tilt Goes to Mets, 3-2
The New York Mets got a strong performance from pitcher James Paxton, who stymied the Montreal offense en route to a win, 3-2, at Shea Stadium 1979-2008. The winning pitcher was Paxton, now 12-7. He tossed 5.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. New York sits in third place in the NL East Division at 65-83.

New York left fielder Tyler Naquin contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 103rd hit of the season and put the Mets ahead, 3-0.

"Tough loss," said Montreal manager . "But we'll learn from it."
