. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Cleon Jones drove in four runs and Ken Boswell scored four times as the Mets defeated the Phillies, 11-6. Dave Downs, the first of seven pitchers used by the Phillies, was the loser after falling behind, 3-2, before being removed for a pinch-hitter in the third inning.

The Mets then scored four runs off Darrell Brandon on only one hit in the fourth. Wayne Garrett supplied the hit, driving in a run with a double, and three others counted when Willie Montanez dropped a fly by John Milner with two outs and the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
