A four-run sixth inning lifted the Padres to a 5-2 decision over the Mets. With the score tied, 1-1, in the sixth, the Padres loaded the bases on an infield hit by Gene Richards, walk to Dave Winfield, a wild pitch and two-out intentional walk to Gene Tenace. A single by Derrel Thomas drove in two runs and a double by Bill Almon plated two more. Gaylord Perry got credit for his 250th career victory. [The Sporting News]
