July 28, 1986 at Shea Stadium

Mets 9, Cubs 2  (65-30)

The Mets blew out the Cubs to open up their weekday series.  Four runs in the first inning were all they’d need, but a run in the sixth and four more in the eighth put the game away for sure.

Bob Ojeda improved to 12-2.  He went seven innings and gave up two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts.  Roger McDowell threw the final two frames and he earned his tenth save for his troubles.

Kevin Mitchell had a big game as he went three for three with a homerun, three runs and two RBIs.  Darryl Strawberry went two for four with a homerun and two RBIs while Howard Johnson drove in three runs.
