The Mets exploded for six runs in the 11th inning on homers by Joel Youngblood and Lee Mazzilli and a triple by Steve Henderson, but barely emerged with a 9-8 victory when the Cubs fell short with a five-run rally in their half of the frame. Dave Kingman hit his 27th homer of the season for the Cubs in the fourth.
