Hitless in 20 trips, Tommie Agee snapped his slump with a double in the eighth inning to spark the Mets to a 5-4 victory over the Astros. After his double with the score tied, 3-3, Agee stopped at third on a single by Ken Boswell and crossed the plate on a grounder by Dave Marshall, who was safe at first when Tommy Helms fumbled the ball.
