Ron Givens earned the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. Johnson City falls to 6-4.

Arturo Granados delivered a big hit for Kingsport. The right fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Mets ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"It was a solid, all-around game for us," said Kingsport manager Luis Avilan.
