Showing recovery from elbow surgery, Larry Christenson made his first start since May 21 and allowed only four hits in six innings to gain credit for an 8-0 victory over the Mets. Tug McGraw finished. Pete Rose collected three singles and raised his career total to 3,500 hits with his second hit in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
