Posting the 100th victory of his major league career, Jerry Koosman ended the Mets' seven-game losing streak by defeating the Cardinals, 5-1. The Mets, who had been shut out for 35 consecutive innings, ended their drouth in the first on a single by Gene Clines, a stolen base and an error by Lou Brock on a line drive by Jesus Alou.

Joe Torre singled and Dave Kingman homered in the fourth. After the Mets added a pair in the seventh, the Cards picked up their lone run in the eighth on a double by Mike Tyson and two infield outs. [The Sporting News]
