Jon Matlack, having the best season of his entire career, posted his 10th victory as the Mets defeated the Cubs, 7-2. The lefthander's high for games won over a full campaign is 15 with the Mets in 1972. The Mets, who had a homer by Joe Torre, broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning when Matlack walked, Mike Phillips singled and both crossed the plate on a double by Felix Millan. Three walks and an error let the Mets wrap up their scoring with three runs on only one hit in the sixth.
