Driving in two runs apiece, Joel Youngblood and John Stearns sparked the Mets to a 6-3 victory over the Padres. The Mets got three runs in the third inning on a two-run double by Stearns and sacrifice fly by Youngblood. In the fifth, a double by Willie Montanez and intentional walk to Stearns set the stage for a run-scoring double by Youngblood. The final run was plated on a sacrifice fly by Bobby Valentine.
