Very quietly Seo rolled along into the 5th inning, without having allowed any hits or runs.
As he was flirting with a no hitter, with one out in that 5th inning, Juan Encarnacion hit a line drive to center field that fell in for a hit. S
eo just shrugged it off, went about his business not allowing any more hits, as he pitched into the 7th inning. After two ground outs in the 7th inning, Howe removed Seo & brought in David Weathers. He got his man & ended the 7th inning.
The Mets had scored in the top of the 7th inning, on a Jeromy Burnitz HR, his 11th of the season.
In the home 8th, Weathers retired the side in order, getting two more ground outs as well.

The crazy inning then featured a wild pitch to Cliff Floyd & then he also reached on an error. Burnitz was walked intentionally & Jason Phillips singled bringing in Alomar. Jose Reyes followed with an RBI sac fly & Roger Cedeno singled brining in the Mets fifth run.

In the 9th inning, Armando Benitez was brought in to close it out. He got all three outs, ending the game striking out pinch hitter Andy Fox.
It was the Mets 25th career one hitter, the club's second in just three games.
