Combining on a five-hitter, Ray Burris and Neil Allen hurled the Mets past the Phillies, 3-0. The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when John Stearns singled, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a single by Joel Youngblood. They added a second marker in the fifth on an RBI single by Frank Taveras and their final run in the eighth on a run-scoring groundout by Steve Henderson. [The Sporting News]
