Hank Aaron broke the major league record for most extra-base hits with his 704th homer as the Braves gained a 3-1 victory to spoil the Expos' fifth birthday celebration. Aaron's blow in the eighth inning represented the 1,378th extra-base hit of his career, moving the Braves' slugger into first place on the all-time list ahead of Stan Musial of the Cardinals. The Braves previously had a homer by Ralph Garr with Dick Dietz on base in the second inning.
