The Cubs put on their greatest offensive show of the season and piled up an 18-5 victory to set a record for the most runs scored against the Mets in any game in the club's 11-year history. The Cubs' 17-hit attack included a grand slam by Burt Hooton for the pitcher's first major league homer and a three-run smash by Dave Rosello for the shortstop's first big-time blow, plus two homers by Jose Cardenal and one by Billy Williams. The Mets used five pitchers including loser Tom Seaver, who gave up 15 bases on balls among them.
