Given a second chance when Bruce Boisclair dropped his foul fly to right, Davey Lopes crashed a three-run homer with two down in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Dodgers to a 5-3 decision over the Mets. Boisclair's sacrifice fly had put the Mets ahead in the top of the ninth after Los Angeles tied the score in the eighth on Reggie Smith's 18th homer. Steve Garvey singled home a first-inning Dodger run, but the Mets took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on two-out doubles by Steve Henderson and John Milner and a single by Joel Youngblood.
