Tom Seaver, who had missed two starts because of a pinched nerve in his left hip, allowed only three hits in 7 1/3 innings before the trouble flared up again, but the Mets' ace was able to receive credit for a 4-2 victory over the Phillies. Seaver gave up an unearned run in the first when Larry Bowa was safe on an error by Wayne Garrett, stole second and scored on a single by Willie Montanez. Dick Ruthven, who started for the Phillies, allowed only three hits in seven innings, but they included a homer by Cleon Jones following a walk to Rusty Staub in the first.
