A four-run outburst in the first inning started the Mets off to a 7-3 victory over the Expos. A walk to Willie Mays, forceout by Bud Harrelson, another pass to Dave Marshall and single by Jim Fregosi produced the first run. Cleon Jones then drove in two with a double, took third on the throw home and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jim Beauchamp.

The Mets' subsequent scoring included a homer by Mays in the ninth. Tim Foli and John Boccabella homered for the Expos. Foli's drive was the first of his major league career for the former Mets' infielder. [The Sporting News]
