Larry Lintz batted in three runs with a pair of singles and Willie Davis hit a two-run homer to enable the Expos to defeat the Mets, 6-4. Ernie McAnally, who started for the Expos, lasted only one inning after giving up three runs, two on a double by John Milner and one on a sacrifice by Ron Hodges. The Expos came back with two runs on a single by Lintz in the second and went ahead when Davis hit his homer in the fifth.

What proved to be the deciding pair counted in the ninth. Pepe Mangual singled and stole second and Larry Parrish walked. Don Carrithers, winning his own game in relief, singled to drive in Mangual. Lintz added an extra run with a single. Carrithers, after replacing McAnally, retired 18 batters before Ed Kranepool singled in the eighth for his 17th pinch-hit of the season, setting a Mets' club record. The Mets threatened in the ninth, loading the bases, but scored only once on a sacrifice fly by Hodges before Dale Murray retired the side to record his first save of the season.
