John Milner hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to climax a five-run outburst in the first inning as the Mets batted their way to an 11-3 victory over the Expos. Wayne Garrett led off with a double for the Mets, took third on a single by Felix Millan and scored when Rusty Staub was safe on an error by Ron Hunt. Cleon Jones then singled to load the bases for Milner's homer off Mike Torrez.
