The Mets erupted for 10 runs in the sixth inning in the biggest scoring stanza in the club's history to defeat the Reds, 12-6. The first tally in the outburst came on a bases-loaded walk to pinch-hitter Ron Hodges. Frank Taveras followed with a two-run double and Richie Hebner added a two-run single. Willie Montanez stroked a sacrifice fly and reached first base when George Foster allowed the ball to fall for an error.
