After scoring six runs in the first inning, the Giants frittered away their big lead before coming back with a run on a bases-loaded single by Bobby Bonds in the 13th inning to defeat the Mets, 8-7. Bonds homered with two men on base during the Giants' opening outburst and later tripled and scored on an infield out by Gary Matthews in the seventh. Don Hahn and John Milner hit homers for the Mets, Milner's blow coming with two aboard in the fifth. A wild throw by Chris Speier enabled the Mets to score the tying run in the ninth.
