This game got ugly, fast. Despite recording three strikeouts in the bottom of the first, Sid Fernandez allowed Lonnie Smith to score on a Willie McGee single. He then proceeded to surrender five runs in the bottom of the third, including a three run bomb to George Hendrick. Ed Lynch replace El Sid in the same inning...and ended up giving up another three-run bomb, this time to Darrell Porter.
About the only excitement New York drummed up was a pinch-hit, two-run home run to Rusty Staub in the eighth. Starter Danny Cox had only allowed one unearned run prior to that.
Winning Pitcher - Danny Cox
