Dave Kingman hit his 27th homer as the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 for their sixth straight win. Mickey Lolich pitched a three hit shutout, his 40th career shutout and first in the National League, while Pete Falcone suffered the loss. Kingman’s homer followed Joe Torre’s double, and he moved 12 games ahead of Hack Wilson for pace in NL home runs through June. Stargell’s all time NL pace remains ahead with 28 through June 30, 1971. Kingman could tie that mark Wednesday night.
