The Padres edged the Mets, 4-3, scoring the decisive run without the benefit of a safe hit. With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh, Tucker Ashford drew a leadoff walk. Pinch-runner Gene Richards stole his 31st base of the season and took third one pitch later on a balk. After Jerry Turner fanned, Bill Almon hit a routine grounder to third which Lenny Randle bobbled momentarily, allowing Richards to score as Almon was thrown out at first. The other Padre runs came on Dave Kingman's homer in the fourth and Dave Winfield's two-run double in the sixth. [The Sporting News] |
