Gary Alexander hit a triple, double and sacrifice fly and walked with the bases loaded to account for four RBIs as the Giants defeated the Mets, 7-4. Jon Matlack, who started for the Mets, aggravated an old shoulder injury and left the game after yielding a run on singles by Derrel Thomas, Jack Clark and Gary Thomasson in the first inning. Lenny Randle tied the score with a homer in the Mets' half.
