Tom Seaver Fan Club

August 22, 1986 at Candlestick Park

Mets 5, Giants 3  (81-41)

The Mets continued to roll as they won their fifth straight game.  Dwight Gooden improved to 13-4 as he went 8 2/3 innings and struck out seven.  Roger McDowell was called in to get the final out with runners at the corners, and he did the job to earn his fifteenth save.

Mookie Wilson drove in two runs and Darryll Strawberry hit his eighteenth homerun of the season.  Rafael Santana scored twice.
