An error by Ray Sadecki, together with two wild pitches, enabled the Expos to score two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Mets, 5-3. The victory was the expansion club's eighth in 12 games with the defending world champions this season. Steve Renko, who started for the Expos, faded in the heat and lost a 3-2 lead when the Mets scored twice in the seventh inning on passes to Donn Clendenon and Ken Boswell, a single by Jerry Grote and walks to Tommie Agee and Bud Harrelson.
