A four-run outburst at the expense of Tom Seaver in the first inning carried the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Mets. Pete Rose and Joe Morgan led off with singles and, after Bobby Tolan grounded out, Johnny Bench scored Rose with a sacrifice fly. Tony Perez followed with a single, plating Morgan, and Joe Hague then hit a two-run homer to doom Seaver to defeat.
