CHICAGO - Carlos Delgado didn't need a bat until his final plate appearance Friday. Then he used the lumber well.

Delgado, who already had walked four times when he came to bat in the ninth inning of a tie game, belted a first-pitch double against Ryan Dempster to score David Wright for the go-ahead run. The New York Mets, repeating their demolition of Dempster when the teams last met, scored three more times against the Cubs' closer Friday and beat Chicago 6-2 at Wrigley Field.

"You have to pitch to him eventually," manaager Willie Randolph said about Delgado.
