A three-run homer by Dave Kingman in the first inning triggered the Mets' 4-2 triumph over the Reds as Pat Zachry went the route on a seven-hitter. Kingman's blast came with Wally Backman and John Stearns aboard via singles. George Foster doubled home the other Mets run in the second. [The Sporting News]
