Andy Messersmith pitched his first shutout of the season and Ron Cey drove in four runs with two homers to escort the Dodgers to a 7-0 victory over the Mets. Cey connected with two men on base in the first inning and added solo shot in the fourth to give him 20 homers for the season, one more than his previous major league high. [The Sporting News]
