A single by Gene Richards in the 10th inning lifted the Padres to a 5-4 triumph over the Mets. Dan Briggs led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice. Pinch-hitter Fernando Gonzalez struck out and pinch-hitter Broderick Perkins drew an intentional walk before Kurt Bevacqua also walked to load the sacks. Richards then drilled his game-winning hit.
