After being held scoreless on three hits in the first seven innings, the Mets stirred up enough runs to beat the Dodgers, 2-1. Doug Rau, who started for the Dodgers, was staked to a one-run lead when Joe Ferguson hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the second.

The Mets caught up in the eighth, scoring on a single by John Stearns and pinch-double by Jesus Alou. Mike Marshall relieved Rau and drew the defeat in the ninth. Rusty Staub walked, took second on a wild pitch and crossed the plate with the deciding run on a single by Mike Phillips. [The Sporting News]
