A sacrifice fly by Bobby Wine, following a three-base error, enabled Ernie McAnally to pitch the Expos to a 1-0 victory over the Phillies in a duel with Woodie Fryman. In the eighth inning, John Boccabella lifted a fly to short right field and when Denny Doyle bumped into Willie Montanez, the ball bounced away as Boccabella raced to third. Doyle was charged with an error. Clyde Mashore ran for Boccabella and scored on Wine's fly. [The Sporting News]
