. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Tug McGraw gained credit for his first victory of the season as the Mets scored three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Expos, 4-1. Harry Parker started for the Mets, but a sore arm forced his exit after seven innings with the score tied. 1-1, McGraw held the Expos hitless in the last two frames.

The Mets began the eighth with John Milner drawing a pass. Rusty Staub forced Milner, but Ed Kranepool and Ken Boswell followed with singles, Staub scoring to break the tie. After an intentional pass to Don Hahn, Ted Martinez singled to drive in a pair of insurance runs. [The Sporting News]
