| Gary Gentry, who beat the Cardinals three straight times in 1969, made it four in a row by pitching the Mets to a 4-1 victory with last-out help from Ron Taylor. Gentry allowed only four hits, but left the mound after Leron Lee singled in the ninth inning and Carl Taylor walked with two out. Ron Taylor retired Phil Gagliano on a fly to end the game.
