Hawaii's own

Benny Agbayani, Mets: The St. Louis and Hawaii Pacific alumnus returned after missing seven games with back spasms. He went 2-for-5 with a walk in New York's 6-5 win over Philadelphia before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the ninth.

Agbayani opened the game with a walk and advanced to second on an infield hit, but he was stranded there, as the heart of the Mets' order failed to drive him home. He also advanced to third in the eighth, but Robin Ventura struck out with the bases loaded.

Mike Fetters, Dodgers: The Iolani graduate gave up one earned run on two hits in one inning as Los Angeles lost to Arizona, 13-9.

Fetters opened the seventh with the Dodgers down 11-9. He allowed a one-out double to Steve Finley, who went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in the game. Finley advanced to third on a wild pitch. Fetters next allowed a run-scoringdouble to Danny Bautista before retiring the next two batters.
