Bud Harrelson, whose wild throw allowed the Astros to score a run in the first inning, made up for his error with a two-out single in the ninth to give the Mets a 2-1 victory. Cleon Jones homered for the Mets in the sixth to tie the score. Jim Beauchamp singled in the ninth and was forced by Ted Martinez. Tug McGraw sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Tommie Agee, Harrelson rapped his deciding single.
