Cleon Jones homered with two men on base in the third inning to enable Tom Seaver to pitch the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Padres. Seaver yielded only three hits, but they included homers by Dave Campbell and Ollie Brown. After Campbell's clout in the third, the Mets came back in their half with three runs on a double by Bud Harrelson, pass to Art Shamsky and a homer by Jones. Brown connected for the circuit in the fourth, but that was the Padres' last hit, while the Mets added a run in the eighth on singles by Jerry Grote and Tommie Agee around an error.
