August 17, 1984: Mets vs. Giants @ Candlestick Park

Final from Candlestick Park:

I was looking forward to rolling this game.  It didn’t quite turn out to be the pitcher’s duel that the real game turned out to be.  On the contrary, it was a slugfest.

The Giants took an early lead and knocked Gooden out of the game.  The Mets countered with a George Foster grand slam, knocking Krukow out and taking the lead, but the Giants rallied for 2 in the bottom of the 7th and got the win.

Next opponent: Gooden vs. Hawkins @ Jack Murphy Stadium

Stay tuned!
