Steve Rogers, rookie righthander from Peninsula, pitched a one-hitter for his first major league victory as the Expos defeated the Phillies in a twi-night doubleheader, 4-0 and 5-1. Rogers, who was the winner of the opener, was deprived of a no-hitter when Jose Pagan beat out an infield chopper in the fifth inning. The Expos, in beating Steve Carlton, scored a run in the second on singles by John Boccabella, Rogers and Ron Hunt. Their three other runs in the eighth came on a walk, an error by Larry Bowa, double by Ken Singleton and single by Pepe Frias.
