The Mets collected only three hits but took advantage of Steve Rogers' wildness to defeat the Expos, 5-3. In the first inning, after Felix Millan and Del Unser walked, the Mets scored three runs on a single by Rusty Staub, a wild throw on the play by Bombo Rivera and a grounder by John Milner.

Wayne Garrett walked in the sixth and came around to score on a sacrifice, infield out and wild pitch. Staub and Milner then drew passes, leading to another run on a single by Ed Kranepool. The Expos, who garnered nine hits, forced the exit of Jon Matlack in the eighth, but Rick Baldwin relieved and saved the game for the Mets. [The Sporting News]
