The Padres and Mets split a doubleheader, the Padres winning the first game, 4-1, and the Mets taking the second contest, 7-4, on a three-run homer by Joel Youngblood. The first game was tied, 1-1, when the Padres loaded the bases in the fifth inning on singles by Broderick Perkins and Steve Swisher and an error by left fielder Dave Kingman. A single by Ozzie Smith chased home both runners.

The second contest was knotted, 4-4, when Alex Trevino drew a one-out walk in the seventh and Doug Flynn followed with a single. Youngblood then drilled a ball into the left field bullpen. [The Sporting News]
