Steve Henderson and Ken Henderson each drove in three runs with a double and a two-run homer to support the five-hit pitching of Craig Swan and carry the Mets to a 6-0 blanking of the Cubs. Doubles by Tim Foli and the Hendersons provided the hurler with all the runs he needed in the fourth inning. The Mets got four more in the eighth when Steve Henderson hit a homer after a single by Foli and Ken Henderson hit another after a base hit by Ed Kranepool. [The Sporting News]
