Wilson, Mets Wallop Pirates, 10-0
The performance of Vance Wilson proved critical in helping New York beat Pittsburgh, 10-0. The Mets catcher was 4 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. With the win, the Mets have a record of 85-74.

The outcome was still in doubt in the top of the fifth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Pittsburgh trailing 2-0, Armando Benitez needed to get a big out. On a 1-2 fastball, Barry Bonds, who finished 5th in the NL in batting average with .346 last year, struck out, putting the kibosh on a potential rally.
