Pat Zachry fired a six-hitter and drove in an insurance run with a sacrifice fly, leading the Mets to a 3-1 triumph over the Phillies. Dave Kingman broke a 1-1 tie with a bases-empty homer in the fourth inning, and the Mets picked up the insurance tally in the fifth when Hubie Brooks doubled, went to third on an infield out and came home on Zachry's sacrifice fly.
