Kingman Ends Dodgers Slide With 14th Inning Homer
Dave Kingman delivered a 14th inning homer to lift the New York Mets to a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was his 23rd homer of the year and his first at home since May 28 despite leading the league in homers. Kingman spoke of slump and road comfort as reliever Charlie Hough recalled the pitch. In other NL action, Philadelphia edged San Francisco 3-2 on Dave Cash’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth.
