A three-run homer by Ron Hodges in the second inning triggered the Mets to a 6-3 victory over the Reds. George Foster delivered a sacrifice fly in the third, Joel Youngblood drilled a leadoff homer in the eighth and Mookie Wilson stroked an RBI single in the ninth. Neil Allen, pitching out of a ninth-inning jam, gained his 14th save. [The Sporting News]
