Hank Aaron batted in a run with a single in the fifth inning for his 100th RBI of the season to enable Jim Nash to pitch the Braves to a 1-0 victory over the Expos. Nash yielded only three hits. Felix Millan doubled and crossed the plate on the single by Aaron, who tied an N. L. record by driving in 100 runs for the 10th time in his career. [The Sporting News]
