Jerry Reuss, who has had relatively little success against the Mets during his career, turned against his jinx club and pitched the Pirates to a 4-1 victory. Don Hahn homered for the only run off Reuss, who beat the Mets for only the third time in 11 decisions. The Pirates sent their lefthander on the way to victory with two runs in the first inning. Willie Stargell drove in Al Oliver with a double and scored himself on a single by Richie Zisk. A single by Stargell, double by Zisk and single by Richie Hebner added a run in the third before the final marker counted in the eighth on a double by Hebner, error by Hahn in fielding the ball, and safe bunt by Frank Taveras.
