VERO BEACH, Fla. -- New York jumped out to a 3-0 first-inning lead against Dodgers starter Hideo Nomo, sparked by Mike Cameron's two-run homer in his first at-bat as a Met, but Jolbert Cabrera, Juan Encarnacion and James Loney had three RBIs each and the Dodgers unleashed a 16-hit attack in a 13-4 win on Wednesday.
Cabrera had two home runs and Loney had one as the Dodger offense, the worst in baseball last year, blew the game open with an eight-run third inning.
Starter Aaron Heilman pitched two scoreless innings for the Mets, but the Dodgers jumped on Jeremy Griffiths for six runs and Jason Anderson for two more in an eight-run third inning.
Ty Wigginton had two hits, including a homer, for the Mets.
Former 21-game winner Jose Lima, fighting for a job as a non-roster invitee, earned the win with two scoreless innings following Nomo. Lima also walked twice and scored two runs in the third inning.
Encarnacion, the new Dodger right fielder, had three hits, as did Loney. Adrian Beltre, batting in the third spot, had two singles and a walk. Shawn Green played first base for the Dodgers and drove in two runs.
