Pongratz Hits Two Homers in 8-3 Win for New York
The 5-RBI night of catcher Chris Pongratz helped the New York Mets triumph, 8-3, over the Chicago Cubs. Kenneth Cluett earned the win. Marco Gutierrez took the loss for Chicago. New York is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 12th in 32 games.

With New York leading 5-3 in the top of the ninth, Pongratz hit a fastball from Jonathan Hager for a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Mets ahead, 8-3.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Pongratz. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
