Ron Santo batted in 10 runs, eight of them in the second game, to stand out as the Cubs defeated the Expos, 3-2 and 14-2, in a twi-night doubleheader, marking their first sweep of a twin bill since July 20, 1969, when they beat the Phillies, 1-0 and 6-1.

Santo homered with Billy Williams on base in the fourth inning of the lidlifter and the Cubs' other run counted on a triple by Don Kessinger and sacrifice fly by Johnny Callison in the sixth. Ron Fairly and Bob Bailey homered for the Expos, who threatened in the ninth when they loaded the bases against Bill Hands. Roberto Rodriguez, relieving, struck out John Bateman and Coco Laboy and retired Bailey on a grounder.

In the nightcap, Santo hit a grand-slam homer in the first inning after Mike Wegener loaded the bases with three walks. The Cubs' captain got credit for another RBI by drawing a pass with the sacks filled in the the fourth and ended his big night by hiting for the circuit with two aboard in the sixth.
