Pitching only his fourth complete game, Tom Seaver gained his 10th victory when the Mets edged the Phillies, 3-2. The Phillies took a 2-0 lead against Seaver before the Mets pulled even in the fourth inning on a walk to Bud Harrelson, double by Dave Marshall and singles by Jim Fregosi and Ted Martinez. The winning marker followed in the eighth when Marshall doubled, Fregosi moved him up with a grounder and Jim Beauchamp hit a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
