Jerry Koosman was a winner for the sixth straight time and the 10th time in his last 11 decisions when the Mets' southpaw defeated the Padres, 7-1. The Mets took a 2-0 lead before Tito Fuentes homered for the Padres' run in the sixth inning. The Mets then locked up Koosman's decision with four runs in the seventh. Bruce Boisclair doubled for the first tally. John Milner and Joe Torre followed with run-scoring singles and Mike Vail capped the inning with a sacrifice fly.
