Helped by Steve Henderson, who drove in three runs with a pair of doubles, Pat Zachry picked up his first victory of the season when the Mets defeated the Pirates, 5-1, in a game stopped by rain after 5½ innings. Lee Mazzilli, Henderson and John Stearns hit doubles for two runs in the first inning. Henderson batted in a pair with his second two-bagger when the Mets added three runs in the second.
