NEW YORK - Orlando Hernandez hadn't faced Greg Maddux since the 1999 World Series, and their latest matchup felt every bit like a duel in October.

If they meet again, it will be.

Hernandez allowed one earned run in seven innings, and David Wright's two-run single after Maddux left tagged the 40-year-old pitcher with a loss Saturday as the New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2.

Just as El Duque did pitching for the Yankees in the World Series opener seven years ago, he got the best of Maddux again.
