Benson was relieved by Korean born, Dae-Sung Koo who would actually get a chance to hit in the seventh inning.

In the Mets dugout, Mike Piazza thought the scenario was amusing. He told David Wright "I will donate a million dollars to charity, if he gets a hit".
Koo stands in and belts a 91 mph Johnson fastball off the center field wall for a double. As Koo was on second base, Jose Reyes bunted, Koo took off for third, on the play he rounded third in the madness. He dove into home plate, avoiding the tag & scored safely. He had his moment in the sun, looking up under the peak of the his helmet to the crowd roar.

The Mets belted out seven runs & fifteen hits on their way to a 7-1 win. It was also a big day for Jose, as he gets four hits, including his fourth triple of the year and drives in four runs.
Randy Johnson hit the showers and took the 7-1 loss. Davis Wright gets two hits & drives in two runs, Miguel Cairo belts a HR against his former team & Mike Piazza has two hits also.
Kris Benson (six innings), Koo (1.1 innings) Roberto Hernandez (0.2 innings) & Braden Looper (one inning) combined for a five hitter, as Looper allows a run in the 9th. The Mets kept peace getting two games behind the first place Florida Marlins.
