John Milner hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Tug McGraw snuffed out a rally in the eighth inning to enable Harry Parker to beat the Phillies, 2-1, for his first victory in a Mets' uniform. Felix Millan singled ahead of Milner's homer off Jim Lonborg. In the eighth, singles by Tommy Hutton and Deron Johnson, around a pass to Willie Montanez, produced the Phillies' run.
