A three-run homer by Bob Bailey and two-run drive by Steve Renko, who was the winning pitcher, led the Expos to a 6-2 victory over the Cubs. Bill Hands held the Expos in check until the sixth inning when they scored their first run on a double by Rusty Staub and single by Ron Fairly. Jim Fairey followed with a single and Bailey then hit his homer.
