Darryl Strawberry, in a slugfest which the Mets will lose 10-9 to Pittsburgh, gets the team off to a good start when he slams a three-run home run off Brian Fischer in the top of the first inning at Three Rivers Stadium. The New York right fielderâs round-tripper, his 37th of the season, establishes a new franchise record for homers, previously set by Dave Kingman on this date in 1975.
