Only the second player in Expos' history to collect five hits in one game, Willie Davis singled in the ninth inning to spark a two-run rally that beat the Dodgers, 8-7. Rusty Staub, formerly with the Expos, had five hits in a game May 30, 1970. The Dodgers bunched eight of their 12 hits in the seventh and eighth innings to take a 7-6 lead before the Expos began the ninth with a single by Barry Foote and pass to Larry Lintz. Davis followed with his single, driving in pinch-runner Boots Day and sending Lintz to third. Ken Singleton then hit a sacrifice fly to plate the deciding marker. [The Sporting News]
