Late Inning Rally Pushes Mets Over Padres

by @ 1:49 pm. Filed under 1986 Mets Diary - August

August 25, 1986 at Jack Murphy Stadium

Mets 5, Padres 2  (83-42)

The Mets got back to winning with a late inning surge to put the game away.  With the game at 2-2 heading into the eighth, the Mets jumped all over the Padres’ bullpen to put the game away.  Ray Knight drove in two runs in the eighth with a single and Mookie Wilson tripled home Keith Hernandez in the ninth.

Hernandez scored twice despite not getting a hit and Kevin Mitchell and Howard Johnson both had two hits.  Jesse Orosco improved to 5-5 and Roger McDowell pitched the final 1 2/3 to earn his seventeenth save of the season.
