Pushing across a run in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Padres edged the Mets, 3-2, for New York's sixth straight loss. Barry Evans began the Padres' ninth with a walk and raced to third on a single by Chuck Baker. Pinch-hitter Gene Tenace then ended the game by stroking a single to left. [The Sporting News]
