Tom Seaver Fan Club

August 10, 1986 at Olympic Stadium

Mets 7, Expos 2  (74-35)

The Mets won their series with Expos and although the score wouldn’t indicate, this one was close for most of the game.  The Expos led 2-1 going into the seventh, but the Mets scored four in the seventh and two in the ninth to put it in the “blowout” category.

Sid Fernandez was solid in six innings of work.  He gave up two runs on only three hits and he struck out seven.  Rick Anderson pitched three perfect frames to end the game and he earned his first save of the season.

Wally Backman had a big as he went three for five with a double, a run and three RBIs.  Len Dykstra scored twice and Darryl Strawberry went two for four with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases.
