Tom Seaver Fan Club

July 30, 1986 at Shea Stadium

Cubs 4, Mets 3  (66-32)

A comeback attempt by the Mets fell short as they split their four game series with the Cubs.  A solid start by Sid Fernandez went to waste.  He got hit hard early (three runs in the first) but settled down to strike out eleven batters through only five innings.  The Mets bullpen was stellar and allowed the Mets to try to stage a comeback but it was all for naught.  Doug Sisk and Randy Myers combined to throw four innings of one hit ball and they struck out three.

Darryl Strawberry drove in a run with a sac. fly and Howard Johnson had an RBI double to account for the Mets two runs.  Gary Carter went three for four.
