Ron Santo smashed a homer, two doubles and a single in four trips to back up the pitching of Ken Holtzman as the Cubs defeated the Expos, 4-2. Holtzman did not allow a hit for the first seven innings before giving up two singles in the eighth and another in the ninth.

The Cubs, breaking Carl Morton's personal five-game winning streak, got their first run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Jim Hickman with the bases loaded. Santo singled in the fourth and scored on a triple by Don Kessinger. Doubles by Santo and Randy Hundley added a tally in the sixth and Santo wrapped it up with a homer in the eighth.
