PHOENIX -- Wilmer Flores has yet to find a consistent groove with the bat during his limited time in the majors, at least going by his . Authentic Dougie Hamilton Jersey .211 average. But when he comes up with runners in scoring position, watch out. Flores drove in three runs to extend his RBI streak to four games, Zack Wheeler pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 on Saturday. Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Flores had a run-scoring single off Brandon McCarthy (2-6) in the fourth inning and a two-run single in the eighth. Thats eight RBIs in his first five games in the majors for the 22-year-old Venezuelan. "He doesnt strike out. Im sure he will one of these days, but he puts the bat on the ball," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "People are yelling hes hitting .167, but look up, hes got 18 at-bats and six RBIs (before Saturday). A lot of guys on this team would take six RBIs every 18 at-bats." New York lost the series opener on a walk-off homer by Paul Goldschmidt. The Mets held off the Diamondbacks in the second game behind Flores, Wheeler and some clutch performances by their bullpen. Wheeler (5-2) did his part, allowing a solo home run to Aaron Hill and little else over 6 1-3 innings to bounce back from a shaky outing previous start. Scott Rice followed him and got Adam Eaton to ground out with the bases loaded to end the seventh inning. Flores put New York up 4-1 with a two-single to left off David Hernandez, but Arizona fought back, loading the bases in the bottom half against Carlos Torres. Pedro Feliciano put a quick end to that threat by striking out Gerardo Parra looking. LaTroy Hawkins then finished it off, striking out Martin Prado with on runner on second in the ninth for his third save in five chances and 900th career strikeout. Arizona stranded 10 baserunners and ended the night 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. "We didnt capitalize on our opportunities," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Wheeler had something to do with it. The rookie right-hander struggled in his last outing, giving up four earned runs and seven hits in five innings of a loss to the Royals last Sunday. Wheeler was sharp against the Diamondbacks, keeping them off-balance with his mid-90s fastball and looping curveball while avoiding walks -- a rarity this season. He worked around baserunners four times in the first five innings and got a lift from catcher John Buck in the sixth, when he reached over the rail to catch a foul pop-up by Martin Prado. Wheeler finally made a mistake in the seventh inning, when Hill fouled off a couple of two-strike pitches before hitting a curveball just out of left fielder Chris Youngs reach for a homer that cut New Yorks lead to 2-1. Wil Nieves followed with a one-out single and Wheeler was replaced by Scott Rice, who got Adam Eaton to ground out with the bases loaded to end the inning. Wheeler allowed six hits and didnt walk a batter after walking at least two in each of his first nine starts. "The past three starts, since Miami, I just found something," Wheeler said. "I dont know what it is, but its flowing right now. It feels good and allows me to throw downhill." McCarthy, in his second start off the DL, got through the first three innings before Juan Lagares led off the fourth with a line-drive homer that just cleared the wall into the pool deck in right-centre. Ike Davis then doubled off the wall and Flores knocked him with a single to put the Mets up 2-0. McCarthy was good after that, getting Flores to ground out with runners on second and third in the sixth inning before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh. He allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four. "I felt pretty good," said McCarthy, who went on the DL on May 31 with shoulder inflammation. "The few pitches that I would like to have back, but overall I felt that I did a good job of commanding the ball and kind of moving them around." Notes: Lagares is 27 for 81 with 11 extra-base hits and 13 RBIs since the All-Star break after going 2 for 4. ...

HABS HEADED TO CONFERENCE FINAL The Montreal Canadiens scored early in Game Seven, built a lead and protected it well on their way to a 3-1 series-clinching win over the Boston Bruins. While this game or series isnt necessarily a referendum on the value of fourth lines, the Canadiens certainly benefitted from production lower down their forward depth chart.
