Steve Renko yielded only two hits before weakening in the ninth inning, but the Expos had enough runs by that time to beat the Braves, 4-1. Renko batted in the first run with a single in the third inning and John Bateman plated another with a double in the seventh. The Expos added a pair in the eighth on a triple by Adolfo Phillips, single by Rusty Staub and double by Bob Bailey.

Sonny Jackson doubled for the Braves in the ninth and scored on a single by Hank Aaron. Renko was lifted after Tony Gonzalez also singled with two out. Dan McGinn gave up a bases-loading single by Bob Aspromonte, but Howie Reed relieved and retired Clete Boyer for the final out. [The Sporting News]
