Cleon Jones drove in five runs with two doubles and a single to lead the Mets to a 9-3 victory over the Astros. Wayne Garrett, making his first appearance of the season with the Mets after five months in the Army and two weeks of getting into condition with Tidewater (International), added three singles, drove in two runs and scored three times. Despite a 6-0 lead, Jon Matlack failed to survive the fifth inning and Tug McGraw, finishing in relief, gained credit for the victory.
