Although ordinarily poor at bat, Hank Webb rapped three singles and drove in two runs while pitching the Mets to a 6-2 victory over the Cardinals. Webb also scored twice. Del Unser started the Mets' production with a homer in the first inning. Webb singled a run across in the second, but the Cardinals tied the score with a double by Keith Hernandez in the fourth.

Webb singled in the fifth, took second on a sacrifice and crossed the plate when Mike Vail singled to extend the rookie outfielder's batting streak to 21 games. A double by Roy Staiger for his first major league hit, singles by Mike Phillips and Webb and double by Unser wrapped up the scoring in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
