The Astros scored four unearned runs off Tom Seaver in the third inning and went on to beat the Mets, 9-4. With two out in the third, Jesus Alou and Joe Morgan singled and Jim Wynn walked to load the bases. When Donn Clendenon muffed a grounder by Norm Miller, one run scored. Denis Menke then lofted a short fly that bounced past Ken Singleton in right field for a bases-loaded triple. The Astros added two more runs off Seaver in the fourth on singles by John Mayberry and Larry Howard and a triple by Alou.
