Seaver Handcuffs Reds, Mets Seize 1-0 Advantage in LCS | The stakes were high. Tom Seaver was ready.
The right-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Riverfront Stadium today, pitching a 11-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the New York Mets to victory in Game 1 of the League Championship Series. Seaver held the Cincinnati Reds to 5 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 6. The win got the best-of-5 series off to a good start for New York, which now leads 1-0.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Seaver said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
