The New York Mets turned back the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, at County Stadium. Lamar Johnson was named player of the game for his fine performance. He was 3-3 with a triple, 2 singles, and 2 walks. New York leads the American League Up by 14 games.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Eric Karros came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Milwaukee pitcher Dick Lines, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 5-4.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said New York manager Jamie Dagostini.
