| The Mets got four-hit pitching from Bob Apodaca and Tug McGraw, plus a three-run homer by Don Hahn, to defeat the Reds, 4-1. Apodaca doubled in the Mets' first run following a single by Hahn in the fourth inning. Then in the seventh, after a pass to Rusty Staub, forceout by Cleon Jones and single by John Milner, Hahn hit his homer. Apodaca was forced off the mound by a blister on his pitching hand in the eighth. McGraw gave up the Reds' run on a homer by Johnny Bench in the ninth. [The Sporting News] |
