The Mets converted a double steal into two runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Cardinals, 4-3. Pepe Mangual led off with a single and stopped at second on a single by John Stearns. With Roy Staiger at bat, Mangual and Stearns worked a double steal. Third baseman Hector Cruz had rushed in expecting a bunt, and when shortstop Garry Templeton failed to cover the bag, catcher Ted Simmons' throw went into left field, allowing both Mangual and Stearns to score, putting the Mets ahead, 4-1. The runs became earned when Staiger followed with a single.
