The Mets bullpen blows the first two games. Jose Cruz hits a pinch-hit grand slam in game 1 to put the Mets ahead, but Rich Hinton and Bob Apodaca throw the lead away. Skip Lockwood and Apodaca again man the gas cans in game 2. Jon Matlack realizes the way to win is not to give the bullpen a chance to lose it and spins a 2-hitter to salvage game 3. CM to follow later in the week.
