| Although Tom Seaver failed to last the route for the seventh straight time, the ace righthander received credit for his eighth victory of the season when the Mets defeated the Braves, 5-2. Duffy Dyer helped his batterymate by hitting a three-run homer in the second inning. Tug McGraw pitched the last 1 2/3 innings and picked up his eighth save. [The Sporting News] |
