Playing before 54,424, the largest crowd in the N. L. this season, the Mets rallied for three runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Astros, 4-3. Larry Dierker yielded only three hits in the first seven stanzas and held a 3-1 lead before Dave Marshall started the Mets' comeback with a one-out double. Pinch-runner Al Weis stopped at third on a single by Tommie Agee and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bud Harrelson. Cleon Jones tripled to drive in Agee with the tying run. Following an intentional pass to Art Shamsky, Ken Boswell bunted safely down the third base line as Jones crossed the plate with the deciding run.
