Taking advantage of errors and walks, including a pass with the bases loaded that forced in the deciding run, the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 5-4. The Expos filled the sacks in the third inning on walks to Jim Cox and Ron Hunt around a single by Barry Foote, then scored three runs on singles by Tim Foli and Ken Singleton. Steve Rogers, pitching for the Expos, had a rough time in the fourth, giving up four runs, including a homer by Jose Cruz, but the Expos came back to win the game in the fifth.

Foote walked, Hunt was safe on an error by Ken Reitz and Foli drew a pass to load the bases. Willie Davis singled, driving in a run to tie the score and knock out Alan Foster. The Cardinals brought in Al Hrabosky to face lefthanded-hitting Ron Fairly, but the southpaw walked Fairly to force in the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
