Game 1: Reggie Smith's solo home run is the entirety of the Mets offense off Milt Wilcox. Since Craig Swan gives up two 2-run shots (to Griffey and Geronimo) the outcome is obvious -- Reds 6-1. Game 2: Mets' comeback is capped by Sixto Lezcano punching a single through the drawn-in infield in the top of the 8th off Manny Sarmiento to hang Dave Goltz with his 3rd loss. Game 3: The Reds' bullpen comes through to save Tom Seaver. The Mets manage to turn 11 baserunners into 1 whole run. Game 4: Alan gets to curse his bullpen again. Gene Pentz gets Dock Ellis out of one jam, but gives up a game-tying pinch hit home run to .161 hitting John Milner to lead off the 8th. After getting two out, he allows a walk and 2 singles for the Mets to take the lead. Rich Gossage makes things scary in the bottom of the 9th, but hangs on to salvage the split for New York.
