The Mets, getting scoreless relief hurling from Bob Miller and Jack Aker as well as a two-run homer from John Milner, came from behind to trip the Expos, 4-3. Milner's 15th homer of the season, with Jerry Grote aboard on a single in the eighth, wiped out a 3-2 Montreal lead and made a winner of Aker. The Expos scored three times after two were out against New York starter George Stone in the third, Hal Breeden cracking a two-run homer and Barry Foote doubling home a third tally. Rusty Staub threw out Ron Hunt at the plate in the sixth and Ken Singleton at third in the seventh to prevent further damage.
