. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Four pitchers for the Expos issued a total of 14 passes, making it easy for the Mets to walk their way to a 10-4 victory. Loser Clay Kirby, who passed six in 3 1/3 innings, issued four straight walks to force in the Mets' initial run in the opening frame. John Milner drove in three runs for the Mets with a grounder in the fourth and double in the fifth. Pepe Mangual walked with the bases loaded in the fifth and added two RBIs with a double in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
