Mike Torrez pitched a six-hitter in the opener and Dennis Blair allowed five hits in the nightcap before needing help from John Montague as the Expos defeated the Padres in a doubleheader, 6-1 and 6-2. The Expos' attack in the opener included a three-run homer by Ken Singleton and solo swat by Bob Bailey, while the Padres had a circuit clout by Willie McCovey for their only run.
