The Mets looking to become a .500 team with a 47th win sent Jae Seo to the mound to start the game on a good note.
Seo pitched 6.0 innings giving up three runs on a three run Home Run to Endy Chavez who would be a Met in the future.
But Chavez was not the only one to hit a three run Home Run, Richard Hidalgo also hit a three run Home Run.
Mets young star 3B man David Wright made his MLB debut in this game and went 0-4 doing nothing in the game.
Ty Wigginton who moved to first to make room for Wright walked three times and cored three runs.
The Expose kept fighting back all the way to the end but a error by Expose first baseman Nick Johnson with two outs in the eighth proved to be the difference.
Orber Moreno got the win and closer [[Braden Looper got his 20th save as the Mets beat the Expose 5-4
