Luis Gonzalez provided the bat, and Armando Reynoso provided the arm, as the Arizona Diamondbacks topped the New York Mets 3-2 to force Game 5 of the play-in series between the teams. Reynoso scattered 10 hits and took a shutout into the 8th to lead the Diamondbacks. Jay Bell broke a scoreless game in the 6th with an RBI double against Sid Fernandez. Gonzalez followed with a 2-run home run, giving the Diamondbacks a 3-0 lead. The Mets threatened in the 7th, loading the bases with 1 out, but Reynoso got Darryl Strawberry to ground into a double-play to end the threat. Greg Swindell relieved Reynoso after Kevin McReynolds doubled to lead off the 8th. Mackey Sasser followed with a homer to cut the lead to 3-2. Matt Mantei allowed a leadoff single to Darryl Boston, and walked Gregg Jefferies with one out before striking out Strawberry and McReynolds to end the game. Arizona managed just 6 hits against Fernandez, half of the Mets 12 hits, but it was enough. Game 5 will see a rematch of Game 1 starters Frank Viola and Randy Johnson. The winner will advance to face the 1998 Atlanta Braves in the 1st round of the Best of the 1990s Tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
