Tom Seaver, who returned to the Mets' rotation after missing a turn because of an ailing back, settled down after a shaky start and defeated the Pirates, 5-2. After the Mets tallied twice on a walk to Felix Millan, single by John Milner and double by Ed Kranepool in the first inning, Al Oliver singled and Willie Stargell homered in the Pirates' half. The Mets broke away with a run in the third on a single by Milner and Kranepool's second double of the game. Two more runs in the fifth clinched the decision.
