A two-run homer by Derrel Thomas with two out in the ninth inning lifted the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Mets. The Padres trailed, 1-0, going into the ninth. After Dave Winfield stroked a one-out double, Mets' starter Jerry Koosman was derricked in favor of Skip Lockwood, who got pinch-hitter Jerry Turner to foul out, but Thomas then belted ball into the right field bullpen.
