AP, NEW YORK

Steve Trachsel won his fifth straight start and the New York Mets roughed up Randy Johnson again, snapping their four-game losing streak with an 8-3 victory over the Yankees on Saturday.

Paul Lo Duca had three hits and two RBIs for the Mets, held to one hit by five Yankees pitchers in a 2-0 loss on Friday night. David Wright got them going with a two-run double in the first inning, and No. 9 batter Eli Marrero capped the outburst with a homer off Johnson in the sixth.

Ramon Castro's two-run single keyed a five-run fourth for the National League East leaders, who scored just eight runs during their losing streak.
