Manny Sanguillen hit a pair of run-scoring doubles to enable the Pirates to defeat the Mets, 2-1, in a game called after 7½ innings because of rain. Tom Seaver, who once had a 17-5 career mark against the Pirates, lost to them for the fourth straight time, including his last two decisions in 1974.

A pass to Dave Parker and Sanguillen's first double produced a run for the Pirates in the second inning. Ken Brett, who held the Mets to four hits, gave up a homer by Felix Millan in the third, but the Pirates put over their deciding marker in the fourth when Parker singled and Sanguillen hit his second double.
