Four innings of shutout relief pitching by Mike Marshall enabled the Expos to edge the Reds, 4-3, in a game that saw Ron Hunt set a modern major league record when the Montreal second baseman was hit by a pitch for the 32nd time this season. After Hunt was hit in the first inning, the Expos scored three runs on singles by Boots Day and Jim Gosger, an infield out by Rusty Staub and double by Ron Fairly.

Singles by Hunt, Day and Staub added what proved to be the deciding run in the second. Marshall took over for Ernie McAnally with none out in the sixth and allowed only one hit the rest of the way. [The Sporting News]
