The Expos kayoed former teammate Carl Morton, who had beaten them six straight times, with eight runs in the first three innings and rolled to an 11-1 triumph over the Braves. Rookie Pat Scanlon's first major league homer with two aboard highlighted a five-run Montreal third.

That blow drove Morton from the mound with the host club holding a 7-0 lead. Tony Scott, who had singled, scored the fifth run of the inning on a passed ball by catcher Biff Pocoroba, then singled home two more Expo runs in the seventh. Montreal's Gary Carter hit a solo homer in the second and the Braves' Earl Williams did the same in the ninth off Steve Rogers to spoil the shutout. [The Sporting News]
