Ray Burris came within one out of pitching his first complete game since September 17, 1978, before Neil Allen took over to complete the Mets' 2-1 victory over the Braves. The Mets scored in the fourth inning on a double by Frank Taveras and single by Steve Henderson and then added what proved to be the deciding run in the seventh on a single by Henderson, forceout by Joel Youngblood, walk to Elliott Maddox and single by Doug Flynn.
