    Mets manager Mickey Callaway turned to his players in the middle of the ninth inning and in a fun tone reminded them of the stark reality: New York had not won consecutive games in a month.

    "It kind of got everybody riled up a little bit," Devin Mesoraco recalled. "It was a pretty cool thing to do in the situation."

    Six minutes later, his players were celebrating.

    Mesoraco hit a tying, two-run homer through Citi Field's murky fog in the eighth inning , Wilmer Flores sparked the celebration with a game-ending sacrifice fly in the ninth and the Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 Saturday night to win consecutive games for the first time since April 11 and 13.
