Mets surge toward the NL East title as Wayne Garrett and Tug McGraw anchor a relentless drive. The city of New York celebrates the team, drawing parallels to Horace praising brave men, with boxscores and standings noted on page 20.
The Mets defeated the Cardinals 5-2 to move a half game up on the Pirates with one week left in the season. Garrett hit a two run triple in the seventh, Parker earned his eighth win in relief, and McGraw secured his 23rd save. The Pirates swept the Expos 6-3 and 7-4 while Dodgers beat Reds to delay a clinch. Stargell homered and Zisk slammed a grand slam for Pittsburgh, with Giusti and Hernandez finishing out the wins.
Oakland clinched a 12 7 upset of Miami as George Blanda booted four field goals to halt the Dolphins 18 game regular season and playoff winning streak. Other NFL results included St Louis 34 Washington 27 and Jets 34 Baltimore 10 with Namath injuring his shoulder.
The Cleveland Browns were blown out 23 6 by the Pittsburgh Steelers at Three Rivers Stadium as Pittsburgh's defense stifled the Browns ground game and limited Mike Phipps to 157 yards with three interceptions. Greg Pruitt fumbled the opening kickoff and the Browns failed to score a touchdown in Pittsburgh for the third straight visit.
Henry Aaron slugged his 39th home run of the season and 712th of his career, a three run shot in the sixth that carried Atlanta to a 4-2 victory over Houston. He went 0 for 3 in other at bats and did not play Sunday as the Braves routed the Astros 10-2.
