Gary Gentry turned in his second successive four-hitter and pitched the Mets to a 7-1 victory over the Astros, marking the first time in his major league career that the young righthander had hurled back-to-back complete games. The Mets used a walk to Donn Clendenon and double by Ken Boswell to take the lead in the second inning before breaking loose for six runs in the third with an attack that included doubles by Wayne Garrett, Ken Singleton and Gentry. The Astros avoided the shutout in the eighth when John Mayberry doubled and Larry Howard singled.
