Seven innings of shutout relief pitching earned Don Carrithers his first victory since May 6. 1973, when the Expos rallied to defeat the Dodgers, 5-4. The Dodgers built up a 4-0 lead at the expense of Steve Rogers before Carrithers, formerly with the Giants, arrived on the scene. Tommy John, who started for the Dodgers, was forced to leave the mound in the third inning because of arm pain in the area of his left elbow. John gave up a single by Willie Davis and pass to Bob Bailey before departing.

Geoff Zahn, in relief, threw wildly on a pickoff attempt, advancing the runners, and both scored on a single by Ron Woods. Woods also crossed the plate on singles by Ken Singleton and Barry Foote. The Expos then gained their victory with two more runs in the fourth on singles by Larry Lintz, Davis and Bailey and sacrifice fly by Mike Jorgensen. [The Sporting News]
