Woodie Fryman gained his first victory since returning to the N. L. and the Expos ended a five-game losing streak by defeating the Pirates, 5-0. Fryman allowed only five hits, all singles. The Expos began their attack on Dock Ellis with run-scoring singles by Pepe Mangual and Tony Scott in the first inning. Larry Parrish hit his first major league homer in the second. A single by Scott and double by Barry Foote added a run in the third before Ellis departed in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
