PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - After two weeks on the road, the St. Lucie Mets made a successful return to Clover Park with a 5-2 win over the Daytona Tortugas on Tuesday.

Omar De Los Santos hit a go-ahead two-run homer off of Javi Rivera in the bottom of the sixth to give the Mets a 3-2 lead.

De Los Santos ripped a RBI double in the bottom of the eighth to bring home an insurance run. He later used his speed to score from second base on a ground out to put the Mets up 5-2.

De Los Santos went 2 for 4 with a home run, double, three RBI and two runs scored. In his previous game on Sunday he hit two home runs, a triple and drove in four runs.

Mets starting pitcher Luis Moreno (4-0) earned the win. He limited the Tortugas to two runs (one earned) over 6.0 strong innings. He walked two and struck out a season-high eight batters. Moreno finished the month of May with a .067 ERA (two earned runs in 27.0 innings).

Reliever Daniel Juarez pitched three perfect innings to close out the game for his third save.

Carlos Dominguez went 1 for 2 with a home run. The long ball put the Mets up 1-0 in the second inning. It was his 11th of the season which tied him for the Florida State League lead.

William Lugo went 2 for 4 with two runs scored.

Rivera (1-3) took the loss for Daytona. He was tagged for four runs and four hits over 3.0 innings.
