| With Tom Seaver pitching a five-hitter and notching 12 strikeouts, the Mets spanked the Pirates, 5-0, and dropped the Bucs five games behind the Phillies in the National League East. Felix Millan's two-run single was the key blow in a five-run seventh inning that gave the Mets their sixth victory in seven games. [The Sporting News] |
