Pete Falcone tied the modern major league record by striking out the first six batters in the game, but the Mets' lefthander lost to the Phillies, 2-1. Larry Bowa singled in the fifth inning and Luis Aguayo hit his first major league homer to account for the Phillies' runs. The Mets scored off Steve Carlton on a pass to Elliott Maddox with the bases loaded and two out in the seventh before Tug McGraw came in to save the game. [The Sporting News]
