| A pinch-homer by Hal McRae, after Dave Concepcion was safe on an error in the seventh inning, lifted the Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Expos. Denis Menke earlier homered for the Reds to the tie score at 2-2 in the second. Jack Billingham was lifted when the Expos loaded the bases with one out in the fifth and Tom Hall walked Tim McCarver to force in a run, but the reliever clamped down the rest of the way to gain the decision.
