Pat Zachry scored the deciding run on a balk in the Mets' 3-2 victory and gained his sixth career decision over the Padres without a defeat. With the score tied at 2-2, Zachry singled in the seventh inning, stopped at third on a double by Lee Mazzilli and trotted home when Bob Owchinko was called for a balk. Zachry, who struck out 10 for his career high, gave way in the eighth inning to Skip Lockwood, who received credit for his eighth save. [The Sporting News]
