The Padres, who collected only two hits off Pat Zachry in the first six innings but scored a pair of tainted tallies, counted their only earned run of the game in the 10th and defeated the Mets, 3-2. With one out, Bill Almon singled off Skip Lockwood and took third on a single by Mike Ivie. The Mets then passed Dave Winfield intentionally in a move that backfired when George Hendrick singled to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
