Bill Stoneman yielded only four hits and pitched the Expos to a 2-0 victory over the Reds. Jack Billingham dueled with Stoneman on equal terms until the seventh inning when Ron Fairly doubled, moved up on a bunt by Terry Humphrey and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tim Foli. Mike Jorgensen and Tim McCarver singled and Ron Woods hit a sacrifice fly to provide an insurance tally in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
