The Mets collected only four hits off Juan Eichelberger and lost to the Padres, 4-2, for their seventh straight defeat. Gary Lucas pitched the last 2 2/3 innings for the Padres and held the Mets hitless. Gene Tenace batted in the Padres' first run with a single in the first inning and added another with a sacrifice fly in the third when the Padres also scored on a triple by Barry Evans.
