Tom Seaver's record dropped to 9-9 when the Dodgers scored on a pinch-double by Manny Mota with two out in the ninth inning to defeat the Mets, 3-2. Ron Cey opened the ninth with a single but was thrown out trying to stretch his hit. After Leron Lee struck out, Bill Russell singled and stole second, setting the stage for Mota's double as the pinch-hitter for winning reliever Charlie Hough.
