Registering his 19th career shutout on a four-hitter, Randy Jones twirled the Mets to a 2-0 triumph over the Astros. The Mets tallied both runs in the third inning as Tom Veryzer singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Wally Backman. Walks to George Foster and Dave Kingman then loaded the bases before Backman scored on a wild pitch.
