The Mets exploded for seven runs in the first inning and routed the Phillies, 13-3, as Tom Seaver gained his 10th victory of the season. The Mets sent 11 men to bat against Jim Bunning and collected eight hits in their big inning, all their runs scoring after two outs. Tommie Agee and Bud Harrelson led off with singles, but the next two batters were retired before the Mets began piling up their runs with a single by Dave Marshall, a safe bunt by Ken Boswell, a triple by Wayne Garrett, singles by Jerry Grote and Seaver and a double by Agee.

Lowell Palmer then replaced Bunning and got the final out. Boswell batted in three of the Mets' remaining runs with a homer and a double. Garrett also hit a homer in the seventh inning to account for the final marker. [The Sporting News]
