A bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning proved decisive as the Giants edged the Mets, 2-1. Bill North began the inning with an infield single and went to second on a single by Larry Herndon. After Jack Clark was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Darrell Evans drew a walk from Mark Bomback on a 3-2 pitch. The defeat was the Mets' seventh straight. [The Sporting News]
