The New York Times: Brawl Mars Split by Mets.  The Mets got into their second team brawl in 11 days tonight when they exchanged insults and punches with the Pittsburgh Pirates after accusing Rick Rhoden of cutting or otherwise doctoring the baseball...The fight broke out between Rhoden and Bill Robinson, the Mets' first-base coach, in the top of the fifth inning of the opener with the Pirates leading, 2-1."

This will turn out to be the only game the Mets will lose to the Pirates in 1986 going 17-1 on the season against the Bucs.
