Thursday August 7, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Tom Seaver, who moved up one day in the Mets' starting rotation because Jon Matlack gashed his chin in an auto accident, pitched a three-hitter and shut out the Expos, 7-0, for his 15th victory of the season. The Mets put Seaver on easy street with five runs in the first inning, three scoring on a double by Mike Phillips. [The Sporting News]
