Seaver Keeps Focus on Team Not Opponent in Mets Comeback
Tom Seaver said he pitches against the Mets, not his foe, after guiding New York to a 3-1 victory over St Louis. The win followed a prior clash with Bob Gibson as Seaver and Gibson each earned praise in a weekend NL slate that also saw Montreal, Houston, Pittsburgh and San Francisco win. Seaver’s six-hitter and nine strikeouts highlighted a day of major league action, with standings tight atop the NL East and West divisions.
