Dave Kingman cracked a three-run homer off Andy Messersmith in the first inning and Craig Swan took it from there to pitch the Mets to a 3-0 victory over the Braves for his first major league shutout. Two were out when Del Unser walked, Ed Kranepool singled and Kingman followed with his ninth homer of the season. Darrell Evans of the Braves struck out three times and grounded out once to end his N. L. record string of walks in 15 straight games.
