Mike Jorgensen and Ken Singleton batted the Expos to a 5-2 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Giants broke out of their four-game losing streak with a 17-hit explosion and won the nightcap, 13-2. Singleton drove in three runs with a homer and sacrifice fly in the first game and Jorgensen accounted for the Expos' two other runs with a single and homer.

The Giants' outburst in the second game included a three-run homer by Ken Henderson and two-run smash by Al Gallagher. Sam McDowell benefited from the robust attack and posted his third straight victory. [The Sporting News]
