A homer by Bobby Tolan with two men on base climaxed a five-run rally in the eighth inning and enabled the Padres to defeat the Mets, 8-5. The Padres, who had a homer by Mike Ivie in the fourth, trailed, 4-2, before they began their comeback in the eighth with a run on a walk to Tito Fuentes and double by Gene Locklear. After a pass to Dave Winfield, Ivie singled, driving in Locklear. Tolan then smashed his homer for the Padres' winning blow. [The Sporting News]
