Bob Gibson pitched a five-hitter and racked up his 15th victory when the Cardinals edged the Expos, 2-1. The Expos loaded the bases with none out in the first inning on a single by Marv Staehle, an error and a walk, but Gibson bore down and only one run scored when Bob Bailey hit into a double play. The Cardinals came back with their tallies in the third on a single by Julian Javier, pass to Carl Taylor, single by Joe Torre and wild pitch by Dan McGinn.
