The Padres defeated the Mets, 5-2, dealing the New Yorkers their ninth consecutive loss. San Diego scored three runs in the third inning on an RBI single by Broderick Perkins and Gene Tenace's two-run double. Both hits came after two were out. A run-scoring single by Luis Salazar and RBI double by Tim Flannery accounted for the Padres' final two tallies in the eighth chukker. [The Sporting News]
