Rookie reliever Don DeMola received credit for his first major league victory when the Expos rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Padres, 9-8. Enzo Hernandez drove in two runs with a double for the Padres and Dave Winfield homered, but the Expos led after seven innings, 7-4. Barry Foote accounted for three RBIs with a single and homer.

The Padres rose up to take the lead with four runs in the eighth. Derrel Thomas tripled and Fred Kendall homered. Matty Alou followed with a single and, after Chuck Taylor replaced Tom Walker, Cito Gaston also smashed a homer. In the ninth, the Expos tied the score with a homer by Willie Davis. Ken Singleton then walked and scored the winning run from first base when Ron Fairly doubled into deep center field. [The Sporting News]
