August 26, 1986 at Jack Murphy Stadium

Mets 11, Padres 6  (84-42)

The Mets won for the eighth time in nine games by pummelling the Giants pitching staff.  In all, they put eleven runs on the board and they did it with 21 hits.

Hitting stars were everywhere.  Tim Teufel went four for six with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.  Ray Knight had four hits and three RBIs and Rafael Santana hit his first homerun of the season.  All nine Mets starters had hits and eight different Mets scored.

Sid Fernandez didn’t have a pretty start, but he got the win.  He improved to 15-4 on the season and gave up six runs on twelve hits in seven innings of work.
