Continuing his mastery of the Padres, Tom Seaver became a 16-game winner by pitching the Mets to a 9-4 victory, marking his 17th triumph over the San Diego club in 18 career decisions. The Mets staked Seaver to a 7-0 lead before the Padres notched a pair in the seventh on a homer by Randy Hundley. A single by Willie McCovey with the bases loaded added two runs for the Padres in the eighth. Wayne Garrett led the Mets' attack with four hits in five trips. [The Sporting News]
