Tom Seaver Fan Club

August 16, 1986 at Shea Stadium

Cardinals 3, Mets 1  (76-40)

The Cardinals handed the Mets their third straight loss in another poor performance by the Mets offense.  They managed only one run on six hits in eleven innings with the sole run coming on a Lee Mazzilli solo homerun.

Dwight Gooden had a great start go to waste.  He held the Cardinals to one run on four hits and four walks.  Roger McDowell pitched the ninth and the two extra innings and dropped to 12-7 on the season.
