Tom Seaver was tagged for three homers and was lifted after 6 2/3 innings but received credit for his fourth straight victory when the Mets defeated the Giants, 7-4. Bud Harrelson and Cleon Jones each drove in two runs for the Mets, one of Harrelson's RBIs coming on the third homer of his eight years in a New York uniform.
