| Jeff Cain threw a no-hitter against Kit Kadlec in a great pitchers duel. The D-backs started quick with a run scoring 2b by red hot Bill Schellbach. That would be all the scoring until the D-backs defense loosened up with a pair of errors in the 5th allowing the Mets to score 2 runs. In the top of the 6th with the D-backs down 2-1 Crhis Buckley delivered a clutch 2- run single off the out strecthed glove of Mets shortstop McManus. That was all Cain needed as he finished strong retiring 6 of the last 7 batters he faced. Bill Schellbach added another run scoring 2b in the top of the seventh to seal the victory, and the no-hitter for Cain doing his part for a severely damaged pitching staff. |

| Bill Beauchesne, Tim Fortune and Kit Kadlec combined on a one-hitter as the Mets opened the season with a 4-0 win over the Astros. Beauchesne allowed only an infield single in 5 innings, walking 1 and striking out 5. Kadlec gave the Mets an early lead in the 2nd when he reached on a bunt single, moved to second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on Brian Rochette's single to center. In the 3rd, the Mets took advantage of Mike Vernon's wildness to put up a 3-spot on RBI walks by Al Becker and Greg Cote and an RBI grounder by Kadlec. For the Astros, Brian Dunton was outstanding in relief, tossing 3.2 hitless innings with 3 strikeouts. |
