Tom Seaver, who had not been a winner since July 8, turned in his third shutout of the season and pitched the Mets to a 4-0 victory over the Giants. During his drouth, Seaver lost four times and had no-decisions in three other games, covering a stretch in which the Mets backed their star righthander with a total of only 12 runs. Roy Staiger drove in two tallies against the Giants with a single and sacrifice fly, while the other runs scored on errors by Bobby Murcer and Chris Speier.
