Willie Mays homered in the sixth inning and Tommie Agee hit for the circuit in the 10th to provide the Mets with a 2-1 victory over the Cubs, but it took an extraordinary relief effort by Tug McGraw to save the game for Tom Seaver. The Cubs' run counted on doubles by Jose Cardenal and Ron Santo in the sixth.
