The Mets scored all their runs on three homers to defeat the Braves, 4-3. The Braves had a circuit clout by Cito Gaston in taking a 3-0 lead before the Mets rallied to tie the score with a single by Ed Kranepool and back-to-back homers by Rusty Staub and Dave Kingman in the sixth inning. Joe Torre broke the tie in the eighth with a round-tripper off Tom House, ending the Atlanta reliever's string of 28 innings without giving up a run.
