| Aided by loose Chicago defensive play, the Mets scored five runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Cubs, 7-4. New York trailed, 4-2, going into the bottom of the eighth, but rallied on an RBI single by Dave Kingman, throwing error by Cubs shortstop Larry Bowa, passed ball by catcher Keith Moreland and two-run single by Ron Hodges. Craig Swan, who pitched the eighth inning, was credited with his first victory since June 11, 1980. Neil Allen came on in the ninth to earn the save. [The Sporting News] |
