Making his first appearance in Montreal, Steve Rogers helped attract a crowd of 25,037 and pitched the Expos past the Cubs, 6-1, for the rookie's third straight victory. The Expos decided the outcome with three runs off Fergie Jenkins in the third inning. Pepe Frias singled. Rogers, attempting to sacrifice, was safe on an error. After a bunt by Ron Hunt, Frias scored on an infield out by Mike Jorgensen. Ron Fairly followed with a homer to cross the plate behind Rogers.

The young righthander extended his scoreless pitching streak to 23 innings before a momentary loss of control cut the string. Jose Cardenal and Ron Santo singled in the fourth, Glenn Beckert drew a pass to load the bases and Randy Hundley also walked to force in the Cubs' run. [The Sporting News]
