Tom Seaver Fan Club

August 7, 1986 at Wrigley Field

Mets 12, Cubs 3  (72-34)

The Mets won their five game series against the Cubs and won their third game in a row in a blowout.  The Cubs scored twelve runs on sixteen hits as Cubs starter Scott Sanderson and the relievers that followed him were pummelled.

Each of the Mets nine starters got a hit.  Keith Hernandez went three for five with two runs and two RBIs.  Gary Carter hit a three run homerun and Danny Heep hit a solo shot.  Ray Knight went four for five with two RBIs.

Lost in the hitfest was a solid start by Rick Aguilera.  Aguilera went the distance and gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits with six strikeouts.  He improved to 6-3 on the season.
