Although the Giants were held to three hits, unearned runs on two errors and a passed ball enabled them to defeat the Expos, 3-1. Steve Renko was the hard-luck loser.

Steve Stone, who started for the Giants, allowed only two hits, but was lifted after walking Rusty Staub in the ninth inning. Jerry Johnson then gave up singles by Mack Jones and Boots Day to allow the Expos' run. [The Sporting News]
