John Bateman hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career and drove in a total of seven runs to set a Montreal club record as the Expos posted their fifth straight victory by outslugging the Cardinals, 13-10. Lou Brock started the Cardinals' scoring with a homer in the first inning, but the Expos exploded for six runs in their half.

After a hit batsman and singles by Mack Jones and Rusty Staub accounted for the first tally, Jim Gosger walked to load the bases for Bateman's slam off Mike Torrez. Two walks and a single by Gary Sutherland added another run before the inning ended. Bateman doubled in two more runs in the second when the Expos scored four times and picked up his seventh RBI with a bases-loaded grounder in the fifth. Joe Hague batted in five runs for the Cardinals with two homers and Leron Lee contributed a solo swat to the losing attack. [The Sporting News]
