Tom Seaver, who struck out six batters to raise his career total to 1,999, gained his 14th victory of the season when the Mets defeated the Braves, 5-4. Ed Kranepool drove in three runs for the Mets, who took a 5-2 lead in the seventh inning when John Stearns was hit by a pitch, Seaver grounded out, Wayne Garrett doubled and Kranepool singled. As a result, Seaver was able to survive a two-run homer by Mike Lum in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
