A double by Cleon Jones for the 1,000th hit of his major league career marked the Mets' 5-1 victory over the Pirates. The Mets decided the outcome with three runs in the third. Don Hahn and Felix Millan singled and when Willie Mays beat out a tap down the third base line, a wild throw by Jim Rooker allowed two runs to score. Jones followed with his milestone double to drive in the third counter. The Mets added two insurance runs in the eighth before the Pirates averted a shutout with their marker in the ninth.
