July 13, 1986 at Shea Stadium

Mets 2, Braves 0  (59-25)

The Mets went into the All Star break on a winning note as they completely dominated the Braves in their four game series.  They outscored the Braves 28-2 in the four games and the Mets entered the break with a comfortable 13 1/2 game lead over the Expos.

Ron Darling improved to 9-2 with the complete game shutout.  He gave up nine hits and he struck out seven.  Lenny Dykstra scored both of the Mets runs (one on a solo homer) and had two of the Mets’ four hits.  Wally Backman drove in the other run.  Oddly, the Mets didn’t draw a single walk and they stranded only one runnner in the entire game.
