A homer by John Stearns with two men on base capped a four-run first inning and propelled the Mets to a 7-2 victory over the Cubs. Stearns' blast scored Lee Mazzilli, who had walked, and Elliott Maddox, who had doubled and driven in the first run of the inning. Steve Henderson batted in two of the Mets' later runs with a double and a sacrifice fly. Pat Zachry scattered six hits in posting his ninth win of the campaign.
