Led by Richie Zisk, who batted in four runs, the Pirates defeated the Mets, 8-4, and snapped Tom Seaver's personal seven-game winning streak. As a result of the loss, the fourth-place Mets fell 10 games behind the Pirates in the East Division race.

The Pirates snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning when Al Oliver doubled and Zisk singled. Art Howe added a run with a homer in the fifth. The Pirates then chased Seaver in the sixth when Oliver walked, Rennie Stennett singled and Zisk hit for the circuit. Manny Sanguillen added two runs with a homer off Tom Hall in the eighth. Dave Kingman hit homers for the Mets in the second and ninth innings. [The Sporting News]
