The Mets moved into a tie with the Pirates for first place in the East division by beating the Phillies, 3-1, in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader after losing the first game, 3-2. Tim McCarver hit a two-run homer for the Phillies and Cleon Jones whacked a similar blow for the Mets to forge a tie in the opener before the Phillies posted the winning marker in the ninth inning on a double by Johnny Briggs and a pinch-single by Willie Montanez.
