Three-hit pitching by Pat Zachry carried the Mets to a 2-0 victory over the Pirates. The Mets scored both their runs in the second inning, starting with a homer by Lee Mazzilli. Frank Taveras followed with a single, reached third when Pirates second baseman Phil Garner failed to handle the throw from third baseman Dale Berra on a grounder by Steve Henderson, and came home on a sacrifice fly by John Stearns.
