The Mets set a scoring record for their 10-year history by trouncing the Braves, 20-6, with a 21-hit attack that included a grand-slam homer, double and two singles by Ken Boswell. The Mets' previous high was 19 runs against the Cubs on May 26, 1964. However, their 21 hits fell two shy of the club mark set in that same 1964 game with the Cubs.
