Although wild, Nolan Ryan yielded only three hits and pitched the Mets to an 8-1 victory over the Astros. The fastball righthander, who turned in his first complete game of the season, walked seven, hit one batter and uncorked a wild pitch. The Mets capped their attack with a grand-slam homer by Dave Marshall in the sixth inning after George Culver replaced Larry Dierker.
