Led by the batting of Mike Jorgensen, the Expos beat the Cubs, 7-4, in the first game of a doubleheader and then completed the sweep with a 4-0 victory in the second game behind the two-hit pitching of Dennis Blair and John Montague. Jorgensen drove in five runs with a pair of doubles. However, all five runs were unearned as the result of two errors by Bill Madlock. Bill Bonham, who suffered the loss, tied a major league record by striking out four batters in the second inning. Mike Torrez fanned to open the stanza, but reached base on a passed ball by catcher Rick Stelmaszek. Bonham then proceeded to whiff Ron Hunt, Tim Foli and Willie Davis.
