Game 1: Andy Messersmith and two relievers whitewash the Mets 4-0 as Pat Zachry gets no support from either the offense or the bullpen. Game 2: Steve Carlton gets touched for two home runs (Kingman-no surprise and Foli-big surprise) and the Mets are held scoreless again in a 3-0 loss. Game 3: The Mets finally get a run in the 1st and Jon Matlack promptly surrenders back-to-back 2-out homers to Monday and Madlock in the bottom of the frame. The Mets fought back to take the lead and the M&M boys struck again with 2 more dingers off Matlack in the 8th – 6-5 Cubs. Game 4: The Mets stave off the sweep with a see-saw 7-6 win. Bruce Boisclair drives in 4. BOXSCORE: 1976 New York
