Rick Monday and Bill Madlock twice hit homers to help the Cubs win the first game of a doubleheader, 6-4, before the Expos stole seven bases for a Montreal club record while posting an 11-2 victory in the second game. Monday and Madlock homered in the first inning and repeated their act in the sixth. The Cubs then added two runs for their winning margin in the eighth on singles by Don Kessinger, Madlock and Jose Cardenal and an error by Larry Lintz. Barry Foote had a homer in the game for the Expos.

In the nightcap, Willie Davis drove in four runs, including three with a homer, to lead the Expos' attack. Davis also stole two bases as did Lintz. Ron Fairly, Ken Singleton and Tim Foli swiped one apiece. George Mitterwald homered for the Cubs. [The Sporting News]
