The Mets, after building up a 4-0 lead with the aid of two unearned runs, stood off the Phillies, 4-3. Two walks, a single by Ken Singleton, an error by Larry Bowa and forceout by Jerry Koosman gave the Mets three runs in the second inning. Their deciding tally followed in the fifth on singles by Cleon Jones, Ed Kranepool and Singleton. Deron Johnson homered for the Phillies. [The Sporting News]
