Tug McGraw posted the first shutout of his major league career, pitching the Mets to a 3-0 victory over the Braves. In gaining his second triumph as a starter in one week since coming out of the bullpen, McGraw turned in his first complete game since May 4, 1969. The Mets provided their lefthander with a run in the fourth inning on singles by John Milner and Rusty Staub and sacrifice fly by Benny Ayala. Two other tallies followed in the fifth on an infield hit by Ted Martinez, walk to McGraw, a passed ball, single by Bud Harrelson and grounder by Felix Millan.
