(The Sports Xchange) - Grady Sizemore hit another home run for the Tampa Bay Rays while the New York Mets were left swinging at air on Saturday.

Sizemore hit a two-run homer, his second home run in two games, while the Tampa Bay pitching staff combined for 15 strikeouts in a 5-4 win over the Mets.

Rays starter right-hander Austin Karns recovered from a slow start to post his seventh win of the season before Xavier Cedeno, Steve Geltz, Jake McGee and Brad Boxberger did not give up a hit in four innings of relief.
