With Steve Renko and Mike Marshall combining on a five-hitter, the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 3-1. Renko, who gave up three hits, was lifted in the eighth inning after issuing two walks. The Cards' run scored when Joe Torre singled off Marshall. Mike Jorgensen batted in the Expos' first two runs and Marshall drove in the clinching tally with a single in the ninth.
