Mike Jorgensen rapped a pair of run-scoring singles to help the Expos defeat the Braves, 3-2. Ernie McAnally, who pitched the route for the Expos, also had two hits and scored on a single by Jorgensen in the third inning. With the game tied, 2-2, Ron Hunt singled in the fifth, took second on an infield out and counted the deciding run on Jorgensen's second single. [The Sporting News]
