A four-run rally in the ninth inning brought the Mets a 5-3 victory over the Pirates. Bob Robertson batted in two runs with a homer and sacrifice fly to pace the Pirates to a 3-1 lead before the Mets opened the ninth with singles by Ted Martinez and Don Hahn to chase Jim Rooker. Dave Giusti relieved and retired Ken Boswell. Bud Harrelson grounded out as the runners advanced. Felix Millan then singled, driving them home to tie the score. Giusti walked Rusty Staub and Cleon Jones to load the bases before leaving the game in favor of Ramon Hernandez. John Milner greeted the change with a single, scoring Millan and Staub to provide the Mets' winning margin.
