The Mets built up a 6-0 lead and then shook off a five-run rally by the Cardinals to emerge with an 11-5 victory that tightened the East division race. The third-place Mets were 1½ games behind the Pirates and one-half game behind the Cubs, both of whom were idle. The Mets knocked out Nelson Briles in the first inning when Donn Clendenon drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single. A grounder by Ken Boswell added another counter after Mike Torrez relieved. Tommie Agee homered in the second and Art Shamsky batted in two more runs with a single in the fifth.
