Padres 4, Mets 1 at New York (night game):
A three-run uprising in the seventh inning lifted the Padres to a 4-1 victory over the Mets. Broderick Perkins opened the inning with a single and scored on a double by Jerry Mumphrey, who reached third on an infield single by Luis Salazar. A sacrifice fly by Gene Tenace plated Mumphrey. After a pinch-single by Willie Montanez, Rick Wise capped the outburst with an RBI single.
