The Padres, who had lost to Tom Seaver 10 straight times over his career, finally ended the mastery of the ace righthander by defeating the Mets, 6-2. Ed Kranepool accounted for the Mets' runs with a homer, but Nate Colbert was more potent for the Padres against Seaver, driving in two runs with a double in the sixth inning and two more with a homer in the eighth. As a result, Seaver was handed his first loss of the season and was turned back in a bid for the 100th victory of his career with the Mets. [The Sporting News] |
