Dave Marshall's failure to bunt turned into a winning break for the Mets when the pinch-hitter swung away and homered with two men on base in the seventh inning to beat the Dodgers, 6-4. With Willie Davis hitting for the circuit, the Dodgers held a 4-2 lead going into the seventh. Ron Swoboda walked to open the Mets' rally and stopped at second on a single by Jerry Grote. Marshall then batted for Danny Frisella and tried unsuccessfully to sacrifice before becoming the game's hero. The Mets added another run before the inning ended on a single by Bud Harrelson, a forceout by Joe Foy and a double by Ken Singleton.
