After a wild pitch in the 10th inning gave the Mets a 6-5 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, Dave Kingman smashed a three-run homer in the fourth inning to beat the Phillies again in the second game, 3-2. Bob Boone homered for the Phils in the second inning of the lidlifter, but a circuit clout by John Stearns and two-run triple by Lenny Randle helped the Mets take a 5-4 lead before pinch-hitter Tim McCarver tied the score with a two-out homer in the ninth. With one away in the Mets' 10th, John Milner singled and took third on a single by Kingman, who moved to second on the throw. Manager Joe Torre inserted himself as a pinch-hitter and was handed an intentional pass to load the bases. Tom Underwood, on the mound for the Phillies, then uncorked a wild pitch on his first delivery to Stearns, allowing Milner to score the winning run.

Kingman, who had not homered since May 13 in a span covering 20 games, broke out of his slugging slump in the nightcap with a smash off Jim Kaat after Felix Millan doubled and Milner singled in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
