After Tom Seaver beat the Pirates for the fourth time this season, posting a 3-0 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, the Mets completed the sweep by winning the nightcap, 5-2. Seaver allowed only four hits and struck out 11. The Mets, who were held to three hits by three Pirate pitchers, scored all their runs without the benefit of a safety. Wayne Garrett walked in the first inning and counted on a sacrifice bunt, wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Rusty Staub. Four walks and a hit batsman forced the other two runs over the plate in the second.
