The Mets used a pair of three-run innings to end their seven-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Padres. John Stearns tripled home Mookie Wilson, who had walked, in the first inning and Dave Kingman followed with a two-run homer. In the third, Alex Trevino drove in a run by beating out a bases-loaded infield single, and Doug Flynn then delivered a two-run single to cap the Mets' scoring. [The Sporting News]
