Darryl Strawberry, who finished 2nd in the NL in OPS with 1.053 in 1987, chipped in for New York with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Strawberry said after the game.
