The Expos were held to three hits by George Stone and their five-game winning streak came to an end with a 6-0 loss to the Braves. Mike Lum homered on Bill Stoneman's first pitch of the game. The Braves then failed to score again until the seventh when two errors opened the way for five unearned runs. [The Sporting News]
