With three pitchers combining on a four-hitter, the Mets edged the Pirates, 2-1. The Mets scored both their runs in the third inning. Frank Taveras drew a leadoff walk and came around to score on singles by Richie Hebner and Lee Mazzilli. A groundout by Willie Montanez then plated Hebner with what proved to be the winning run. The Pirates' only score came in the seventh on a bases-loaded walk.
