In the 4th, Tony Gwynn doubled off the right field wall and got the only Padre hit of the day. Cone would allow just one more base runner, a walk to Roberto Alomar in the 6th inning.
Cone struck out eight on the day, easily earning his 14th win while tossing the 17th one hitter in Mets history. Cone would go on to toss two more one hitters for the Mets, both in 1991. One was a combined effort with Jeff Innis.
Cone would go to win twenty games in 1988 (third most in the NL) leading the club in wins (20) ERA (2.22) & strike outs (213). He would be second to Orel Hershiser in those departments, as well as the Cy Young voting.

In the 5th Keith Hernandez added a solo HR (his 8th of the year) . In the 6th Lee Mazzilli got on with an infield single, stole second & scored on a Mookie Wilson base hit.
Greg Jefferies then tripled scoring Wilson, as the Mets had a 6-0 win.
