Tom Seaver, whose only previous win of the season came over the Giants, 6-0, April 26, racked up his second shutout, pitching the Mets to a 5-0 victory over the Expos. Seaver yielded five hits and struck out 13. The Mets salted away the decision with three runs in the third inning. Felix Millan walked and Rusty Staub smashed a homer. Cleon Jones followed with a double and completed his journey around the bases on a bunt by George Theodore and sacrifice fly by Jerry Grote. Ted Martinez added the final two tallies with a bases-loaded single in the eighth.
