The Mets, who had not scored for 29 consecutive innings, were victims of a second straight 1-0 loss to the Dodgers. Claude Osteen, who pitched for the Dodgers, had not received any scoring help from his teammates for 25 innings until they counted off Nolan Ryan in the third. Billy Grabarkewitz was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Osteen and crossed the plate on a single by Maury Wills. [The Sporting News]
