The Dodgers pushed across a run in the ninth to edge the Mets, 4-3. The Mets had tied the score at 3-3 in the top of ninth before Steve Yeager drew a one-out walk and advanced to third on a single by pinch-hitter Manny Mota. Davey Lopes then laid down a perfect squeeze bunt and Yeager raced across the plate with the winning run.
