Don Sutton gained credit for his third straight victory when the Dodgers defeated the Expos, 6-1. Sutton was forced to quit the mound with two out in the eighth inning when hit on the knee by a line drive. Pete Richert finished. Frank Robinson drove in two of the Dodgers' runs with a pair of singles. [The Sporting News]
