Homers by Rusty Staub, Gary Sutherland and Coco Laboy helped the Expos to a 6-5 victory over the Mets, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. Marv Staehle walked ahead of Staub's smash in the first inning. The Expos bunched singles by Staub, Ron Fairly and Jim Gosger for a run in the third.

Sutherland connected for the circuit following a single by Bobby Wine in the fourth. Laboy then homered in the eighth to produce the winning marker. Tommie Agee drove in two runs for the Mets with a homer and sacrifice fly. Ken Singleton also accounted for two RBIs with his first major league hits -- a single in the fifth and a homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
