With Steve Carlton hurling a three-hitter, the Cardinals defeated the Expos, 7-2, in a game that saw Montreal manager Gene Mauch and his starting battery of Bill Stoneman and John Bateman ejected from the game in arguments over brushback pitches. Stoneman hit Ted Simmons and Joe Torre with pitches before being banished in the fourth inning. Later, in the ninth, Mike Wegener plinked Carlton with a pitch.

The Cardinals scored their initial run in the first inning when Torre grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. A walk to Bobby Wine, an infield out and a single by Clyde Mashore tied the score in the fifth. The Cardinals broke the deadlock in the eighth when Ed Crosby and Joe Hague singled, Torre tripled and Simmons singled. Three more runs in the ninth iced the decision before Gary Sutherland homered for the Expos in their half. [The Sporting News]
