The Dodgers got 1 in the first, 1 in the third, and 3 in the 4th to chase El Sid from the game after only 3.2 innings. It looked at that point like the Dodgers would run away with this one, but New York came back to make a game of this one.
The Mets got two on for Darryl Strawberry in the bottom of the 5th and the Straw Man responded with a big three run homer to bring the game within two. Rick Aguilera and Terry Leach would hold the Dodgers scoreless for 3.1 innings in relief of Fernandez. Ricky Horton would relieve Tim Belcher after the Dodgers starter was pinch hit for in the top of the 7th. Horton would pitch a scoreless 7th for the Dodgers.
The Mets would bring in Roger McDowell to start the 8th and Rodger held the Dodgers in check. Horton would start the bottom of the 8th for the Dodgers, but would give way to Brian Holton after giving up a leadoff single. Holton would give up a double to Kevin McReynolds giving the Mets runners on 2nd and 3rd with no one out. Holton would then proceed to balk on two consecutive pitches to Gary Carter to tie the game. Bolton would get out of the 8th without giving up any more runs.
The Mets left Roger McDowell out to start the ninth and that looked to be a bad decision as McDowell gave the lead right back to the Dodgers allowing 2 runs in the 9th. The Dodgers would bring in Jay Howell to close the game, but Howell gave up a pinch hit double to Mookie Wilson to bring the tying run to the plate. The Mets were unable to capitalize, however, and the Dodger went on to win 7-5.
Brian Holton got the vulture win after blowing the save and Roger McDowell took the loss. Jay Howell got the last three outs for the save. The surprise offensive star for the Dodgers was Alfredo Griffin who went 3 for 4 with a run scored, 2 RBI, a walk, and a double. Darryl Strawberry also had three hits for the Mets including the three run homer. Gregg Jefferies had four hits for New York to lead both teams. The Mets outhit the Dodgers 14-12 and hit the games only homer, but the Dodgers drew nine walks to none for the Mets.
Tim Leary will try to close out the series for the Dodgers in Game Six versus David Cone and the Mets. Davey Johnson has said he'll make some changes to his lineup in hopes of changing the Mets fortunes in Los Angeles. He also commented on the one sided umpiring of Game 5 which will surely earn him a fine - a fine he'll happily play if his team can force a Game 7.
