Homers by Rusty Staub and Dave Kingman supported steady pitching by Hank Webb and paced the Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Staub hit a solo blast in the fourth and Kingman hit a two-run clout in the seventh. The Braves' run came on a throwing error by shortstop Jack Heidemann. [The Sporting News]
