May 19: The first three Mets to bat in the first inning reached base and scored, and that would be enough for New York. San Francisco’s only runs came on a two-run homer by Robby Thompson in the fifth inning. The Giants left what would have been the tying run on third base in the sixth and seventh innings.

May 20: A four-run sixth inning gave the Giants a 6-3 lead, but New York came back to tie it in the bottom of the sixth. The runs kept coming in the eighth and ninth innings. An RBI single by Will Clark and a two-run single by Kirt Manwaring put the Giants back in front by three in the top of the eighth. Both teams scored once in their next at-bats. A Darryl Strawberry two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth closed the gap to one run, but Goose Gossage came in and got the final two outs.
