Steve Renko, who pitched a one-hitter to beat the Giants July 9, 1970, celebrated the anniversary of that feat with another one-hitter to enable the Expos to defeat the Philies, 3-0. Willie Montanez singled in the first inning for the Phillies' hit. Renko walked six but retired the last 18 batters in succession. [The Sporting News]
