Mets' rookie outfielder Dan Norman, who hit homers in the second and fourth innings, capped his big night with a sacrifice fly in the 10th to beat the Phillies, 5-4. The Mets failed to hold a 4-1 lead but then won out in overtime when Willie Montanez singled, took third on a single by John Stearns and scored on Norman's fly. The defeat cut the Phillies' lead to three games over the Pirates in the East division race.
