Equaling their season's high for runs scored, the Mets walloped the Astros, 14-4, in the first game and then completed the sweep of a doubleheader by winning the second game in 14 innings, 4-3. Denny Lemaster lost the opener as a starter and the nightcap as a reliever. Ron Swoboda smashed a pair of two-run homers and Tommie Agee hit one to feature the Mets' attack in the first game. Swoboda also picked up his fifth RBI of the game by drawing a pass with the bases loaded.
