Mike Torrez pitched a two-hitter and Ron Hunt scored both of the Expos' runs in a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Hunt doubled in the third inning and crossed the plate on a single by Mike Jorgensen.

In the fifth, Hunt was hit by a pitch, Jorgensen singled again, Tim McCarver walked and Boots Day beat out an infield hit to score Hunt. The Braves' run came in the sixth on a triple by Felix Millan and sacrifice fly by Ralph Garr. [The Sporting News]
