Bill Gullickson of the Expos had a tough time with the Mets lineup in this game. He gave up three runs in the third inning on RBI singles from Wally Backman and Darryl Strawberry. New York tagged him for two more runs in the fifth when catcher Mike Fitzgerald knocked in Keith Hernandez and Strawberry.
Meanwhile, Ron Darling was quite comfortable. He didn't give up a hit until the fourth inning and only surrendered five on the day. Unfortunately for him, the fifth hit was a home run by Gary Carter in the top of the ninth, ruining the shutout.
