Staked to a one-run lead in the first inning, Tom Bradley pitched the Giants to a 1-0 victory over the Mets in a duel with Tom Seaver. Gary Matthews opened the game with a single and Tito Fuentes sacrificed. After Bobby Bonds popped up, Seaver passed Willie McCovey intentionally, but the ace righthander then failed to retire Garry Maddox, who singled to drive in the lone run. [The Sporting News]
