Tom Seaver Fan Club

August 20, 1986 at Dodger Stadium

Mets 7, Dodgers 5  (80-41)

The Mets finished their sweep of the Dodgers and in the process, won their 80th game of the season.  As typical in the series, the Mets jumped out to an early lead (6-0 through five innings) only to have the Dodgers storm back (five runs in the bottom of the fifth).  The rally fell short, and the Mets walked away with their fourth straight win.

Keith Hernandez drove in two runs and Ed Hearn went three for four.  Sid Fernandez helped out his own cause by driving in two runs.

Fernandez improved to 14-4 with six rough innings.  He gave up five runs on six hits and three walks.  Jesse Orosco held the Dodgers hitless in 1 2/3 innings as he earned his 17th save of the season.
