| The Mets edged the Phillies, 3-2, as rookie righthander Mark Bomback gained his first National League victory. The game was tied, 1-1, before the Mets went ahead in the sixth inning when Lee Mazzilli doubled, stole third and scored as second baseman Luis Aguayo booted Joel Youngblood's grounder. Youngblood drove in the eventual winning run with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
