Thrilling an Old Timers' Day crowd of 47,800, Willie Mays appeared in the Mets' lineup for only the second time since May 7 and smashed a homer to help beat the Dodgers, 4-2. The Mets started the scoring in the first inning with two runs on a single by Ted Martinez, pass to Mays and double by Rusty Staub. Mays' homer came in the third and was his first round-tripper since August 18, 1972. Staub hit his second double of the game and drove in the Mets' final run in the seventh. Jon Matlack hurled the route.
