The Mets ripped Dick Ruthven for four runs in the first inning and Dave Kingman climaxed another four-run barrage in the second with his 10th career grand slam in a 13-3 rout of the Phillies. The first-ininng outburst consisted of a run-scoring single by Joel Youngblood, two-run single by Lee Mazzilli and RBI infield hit by Hubie Brooks. In the second stanza, Mookie Wilson led off with a single, Frank Taveras doubled and Youngblood was hit by a pitch to set the stage for Kingman's boundary bonanza. [The Sporting News]
