The Expos' club-record winning streak of eight games came to an end when the Dodgers exploded for five runs in the sixth inning to gain a 6-4 victory. Willie Davis had five straight hits for the Dodgers, including a bases-loaded triple in their big inning. With the aid of a double by Bob Bailey for his 1,000th major league hit, the Expos held a 2-1 lead going into the sixth.

Tom Haller started the Dodgers' uprising with a single, Al Downing walked and Maury Wills singled to load the bases. After a single by Bill Buckner drove in pinch-runner Bill Russell to tie the score, Davis whacked his triple. Ron Fairly narrowed the gap for the Expos with a two-run homer in the eighth.
