| Batting each time with a count of two strikes against him, Dave Kingman smashed a pair of homers and drove in five runs to power the Mets to a 6-2 victory over the Padres. Kingman's first homer of the game came in the first inning and followed a single by Joe Torre. The Mets' slugger connected for a second time in eighth after a double by Felix Millan and single by Torre. [The Sporting News] |
