| Tom Seaver, who had only two defeats and an earned-run average of 6.12 to show for his first four starts for the Mets this season, returned to winning form and shut out the Giants, 6-0. Last year's Cy Young Award winner gave up only four singles and did not issue a pass. In addition, Seaver collected two of the Mets' six hits and drove in two runs. Ron Bryant was the Giants' loser in his first start of the season after being injured in a swimming pool accident March 15. [The Sporting News] |
