Mets come out of the All-Star break and pick up a 5-4 win in 11 innings against the host Dogers. Combined with a Pirates' loss, New York widens its lead in the NL East to five games. The Mets also extended their winning streak to 11.
Been meaning to note what Roberto Clemente is doing. With a pair of singles in the victory, Clemente boasts a .415 batting average. Worth keeping an eye on as he pursues the change to become the first player since Ted Williams to hit .400 in a season.
