Marking the second anniversary of his trade to the Reds by the Mets, Tom Seaver pitched a six-hitter and also batted in two runs with a double in a 6-3 victory over the Phillies. Seaver had one shaky inning, giving up the Phils' runs in the second on two walks, a triple by Bake McBride and squeeze bunt by Bud Harrelson.
