Tom Griffin smashed a homer in his own behalf and combined with Rollie Fingers to pitch the Padres to a 5-2 victory over the Mets, who suffered their 10th defeat in the last 11 games. Jerry Koosman, who gave up Griffin's homer in the seventh inning, was losing, 2-0, when he was removed for a pinch-hitter.
