The Expos succeeded in knocking out Bob Gibson, but the Cardinals came from behind to gain a 6-5 victory in 10 innings. The Expos took a 4-3 lead with three runs at Gibson's expense in the seventh, but the Cardinals tied the score with a homer by Jose Cardenal in their half. The Expos went ahead again in the tenth when Mack Jones walked and Marv Staehle tripled.

The Cardinals came back to win with a two-run rally. Leron Lee singled and when Joe Hague bunted, both runners were safe on Bob Bailey's wide throw to second. Julian Javier forced Lee but Jim Campbell batted for Dal Maxvill and singled to tie the score. After a walk to Vic Davalillo, Cookie Rojas batted for Sal Campisi and beat out a trickler down the third base line as Javier scored the winning run. [The Sporting News]
