The Expos, who had been shut out in two successive games in New York, broke out of their scoring slump to defeat the Mets in a doubleheader, 7-4 and 5-0. The Mets took a 2-0 lead in the opener before the Expos picked up their first run in the third inning on singles by Barry Foote and Steve Renko, a safe bunt by Ron Hunt and forceout by Larry Lintz. The Mets added a run in their half, but the Expos tied the score in the fourth on two walks, a double by Jim Cox and sacrifice fly by Foote. After a single by Willie Davis and double by Ken Singleton put the Expos ahead in the fifth, they added a run on a wild pitch with the bases loaded in the sixth before clinching the outcome with two in the ninth on a double by Lintz, triple by Davis and single by Singleton.

In the nightcap, Ernie McAnally gave the Mets a dose of their own shutout medicine, pitching a four-hitter. Bob Bailey drove in three runs with two singles and a sacrifice fly to help beat Jerry Koosman. [The Sporting News]
