Led by Ron Hunt, who rapped three singles and drove in two runs, the Expos built up a 7-1 lead and stood off the Dodgers, 7-5. Although Al Downing was pinned with the defeat, the Expos decided the outcome against Hoyt Wilhelm in the seventh inning, scoring their final three runs off the veteran reliever on four hits, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly.
