Gary Carter led the way with 2 homers and 7RBI, and that was in the first two innings. He hit a three run homer in the first and a grand slam in the second. After his first inning homer, Braves starter David Palmer hit Darryl Strawberry. He charged the mound and the benches cleared. Neither player was ejected. Palmer would be replaced after allowing Carter's second inning grand slam. Fernandez also was three for four at the plate. He scored two runs and drove in another. Lenny Dykstra, Wally Backman and Ray Knight all had two hits apiece.
