Sparked by Roy Staiger, who broke out of an 0-for-15 slump with two singles, the Mets defeated the Giants, 6-2. Staiger's first single resulted in a run that tied the score at 2-2 in the seventh inning. Then in the eighth, after a single by Ed Kranepool and pass to Ron Hodges, Staiger singled again to drive in the tie-breaking tally. The Mets went on to add three more runs on a single by Bud Harrelson, an error by Gary Matthews and single by Leo Foster.
