A pinch-double by Joe Torre in the ninth inning scored Bruce Boisclair and Dave Kingman and lifted the Mets to an 8-6 victory over the Cubs. Kingman singled for one of the Mets' two runs in the first inning and both Kingman and Roy Staiger homered with a man on base in the third. However, the Mets were unable to hold the 6-0 lead.
