Dock Ellis, who allowed only two hits in five innings, gained his 10th straight victory and 13th of the season when the Pirates defeated the Mets, 3-0. The game was interrupted three times by thunderstorms. Ellis was removed after the second delay and the Pirates used three relievers thereafter. [The Sporting News]
