Carl Morton became the biggest winner in Montreal's brief history, gaining his 12th victory by defeating the Dodgers, 5-2. The former club mark was 11 victories by Bill Stoneman in 1969. Morton also hit the first homer of his major league career, connecting in the second inning after a single by Coco Laboy. Ron Fairly and Rusty Staub added round-trippers for the Expos in the fifth. Steve Garvey rapped the first homer of his career with the Dodgers. [The Sporting News]
