Bobby Bonds batted in two runs with a homer and accounted for another run with a sacrifice fly to lead the Giants to a 6-2 victory over the Mets. John D'Acquisto and Randy Moffitt, who relieved with one out in the seventh inning, limited the Mets to three hits. Bonds' homer followed a double by Garry Maddox in the first. Maddox had two other hits in the game and stole three bases. In the fifth, Maddox singled, stole second and third and scored on Bonds' sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
