Jim Northrup and Mike Jorgensen drove in two runs apiece and Bob Bailey and Ron Fairly hit homers to account for the Expos' scoring in a 6-1 victory over the Braves. After Bailey started the scoring with his blow in the third inning, Darrell Evans homered off Mike Torrez for a Braves' run in the fourth.

The Expos promptly broke the tie in their half. Willie Davis doubled, Fairly walked and after both advanced on a wild pitch by Ron Reed, Northrup drove them home with a single. Fairly hit his homer in the sixth. The final two runs counted in the eighth. Larry Lintz singled and took third on a single by Davis, who then stole second. Jorgensen followed with his scoring single. [The Sporting News]
