. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Mets' seven-game winning streak was snapped with a 9-7 loss to the Expos. Coco Laboy batted in four runs for the Expos with two doubles and a single. Jerry Koosman drew the defeat, but the Expos scored their deciding pair off Ron Taylor in the ninth inning with the help of a passed ball on a third strike, a single by Ron Fairly, a squeeze bunt and two walks. Carl Morton, the first pitcher to beat the Mets three times this season, was chased in the eighth inning, but Claude Raymond came in to save the game. [The Sporting News]
