NEW YORK - John Maine shut down Florida again before becoming the latest Mets player sidelined by sickness or injury, and New York held off the Marlins, 3-2, to cap a highly successful month.
David Wright made a diving grab to start a rally-killing double play, and the Mets completed a 5-1 homestand to finish 19-9 in May. After taking two of three from Florida, they have won 11 of the last 14 games at their new home, Citi Field.
Missing injured regulars Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado and Ryan Church, New York got RBI doubles from Omir Santos, Fernando Martinez, and Angel Pagan - who left in the fourth inning with discomfort in his right groin.
Pagan started in center field for all-star Carlos Beltran, who sat out with a stomach virus.
Maine (5-3) apparently caught the bug, too. Feeling "a little weak," he was lifted after six shutout innings and 82 pitches.
The righthander improved to 5-1 with a 2.21 ERA in nine career starts against the Marlins. He has a 2-0 mark in three outings this season, allowing two earned runs and six hits over 17 innings.

PITTSBURGH - Mike Hampton continued his mastery over Pittsburgh, allowing only one run in seven innings.
Hampton became only the second pitcher to win eight in a row against the Pirates since 1954. He improved to 12-3 lifetime against Pittsburgh and has won eight straight since May 9, 2000. Only the Braves' Tom Glavine has had a streak that long against the Pirates.

MILWAUKEE - Mike Cameron homered and Yovani Gallardo won his fifth game as Milwaukee swept a three-game series from Cincinnati.
It wasn't quite the gem Gallardo (5-2) threw Monday vs. St. Louis when the righthander had a no-hitter going into the sixth, but it was enough. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the second.
