A homer by Rusty Staub with two out in the 10th inning enabled the Mets to defeat the Braves, 2-1, and brought Tom Seaver his 13th victory of the season. The Braves scored their run in the first when Ralph Garr singled and raced home from first base on a long single by Darrell Evans. Singles by Staub and Del Unser, around a wild pitch, produced the Mets' tying tally in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
