Tom Seaver extended his scoreless pitching streak to 25 innings before being knocked out by the Pirates, who went on to edge the Mets, 4-3. Seaver, who had hurled two previous shutouts, collared the Pirates until the eighth when the Mets' ace gave up three runs on a single by Omar Moreno, a stolen base, single by Ed Ott and homer by Dave Parker.
