The Phillies scored two runs in the first inning and that was all Steve Carlton needed to defeat the Expos, 2-1, for his 14th straight victory in the opener of a doubleheader. In contrast to Carlon's success, Bill Champion suffered his 10th straight loss when the Expos beat the Phillies, 8-3, in the nightcap. Ernie McAnally, who pitched the first game for the Expos, was another big loser in a duel with Carlton. Denny Doyle opened the first with a single and was forced by Larry Bowa. After Tommy Hutton flied out, Willie Montanez doubled to drive in Bowa and Greg Luzinski singled to score Montanez. Bob Bailey homered for the Expos' run in the fourth.

The Expos took charge of the second game with a four-run outburst in the fourth inning on a single by Ron Fairly, pass to Tim McCarver and singles by Tim Foli, Balor Moore and Ron Hunt, together with an error by Roger Freed. [The Sporting News]
