Mike Torrez yielded only five hits and pitched the Expos to a 2-1 victory over the Reds in a duel with Don Gullett. Ron Hunt scored both Expos' runs. After being hit by a pitch in the third inning, Hunt crossed the plate on singles by Bob Bailey and Ron Woods. Hunt followed with a single in the fifth, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Hal Breeden. The only run off Torrez came in the seventh on a double by Tony Perez and two grounders.
