Tom Seaver, who had won only one game so far this season, suffered his fourth defeat when the Cubs counted in the ninth inning to beat the Mets, 4-3. Rusty Staub drove in all of the Mets' runs, one with an infield out in the first inning and two with a homer in the eighth. The Cubs had a two-run homer by Jose Cardenal in the first and scored another run on a walk to Billy Williams, a stolen base and single by Chris Ward in the fourth. Carmen Fanzone drew Seaver's fifth pass of the game in the ninth and gave way on the paths to Matt Alexander, who stole second. George Mitterwald then singled to drive in the deciding run.
