The Expos bounced back after absorbing an 11-1 pounding in the first game of a doubleheader and beat the Giants in the second game, 3-2. In the first inning of the lidlifter, Willie McCovey hit a grand-slam homer off Bill Stoneman after the Giants had loaded the bases on walks to Bobby Bonds and Willie Mays around a single by Ron Hunt. McCovey also hit a bases-empty homer in the fifth and Bonds rapped one in the sixth before Dick Dietz wound up the Giants' bombardment with a grand slam in the eighth. A single by Bonds and passes to Hunt and McCovey set the stage for Dietz' smash off Carroll Sembera. Mike McCormick breezed to victory with a three-hitter.
