Mark Loretta had 2 base hits as the San Diego Padres defeated the New York
Mets by a score of 5 to 2 at Shea Stadium.

Up until the sixth inning, the game had been a scoreless pitching duel between Sid Fernandez and Randy Jones. Loretta started the 6th inning rally with two out double. After Ken Caminiti was intentionally walked, "Cito" Gaston drew an unintentional walk. Then came the big moment, as Adrian Gonzalez deflated the mood of the partisan fans by blasting a Grand Slam homerun into the Mets bullpen (A-Gon's 1st of the season).

The Mets fought back in the bottom of the 6th inning, when Keith Hernandez hit a one out triple. After Cleon Jones couldn't hit a fly ball deep enough to score the run, Mike Piazza got "Mex" in-and himself-with a two run home run to left (his second), cutting the San Diego lead in half to 4-2.

In the top of the seventh, the Padres got an insurance run. Carlos Hernandez led off with a single to left. After Greene was retired, Randy Jones sacrificed the runner to second. Tony Gwynn got the run in with an opposite field single.

Randy Jones(1-2) got the win allowing 2 runs on 6 hits over 7 and 2/3 innings. Trevor Hoffman got the save, his 1st. Sid Fernandez(1-1) was given the loss. He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks, but one mistake-the grand slam homerun by Gonzalez-cost El Sid the game.
