Two rookies, Gary Carter and Dan Warthen, were standouts as the Expos won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-5, before the Mets came back to take the second game, 5-2, in 11 innings. The Mets jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the lidlifter, two scoring on a double by Rusty Staub, who also accounted for another RBI with a single in the fourth. Carter singled for one of two runs in the Expos' half of the first and Larry Parrish homered in the fourth. The Expos then went ahead to win when Jose Morales and Bob Bailey singled in the fifth and Carter hit for the circuit. Warthen pitched six scoreless innings in relief of Don Stanhouse, allowing only three hits, to gain the victory.

In the nightcap, the Expos were stopped on their six-game winning streak when the Mets shattered a 2-2 tie in the 11th. With two out, John Milner walked and counted the tie-breaking run on a triple by Mike Phillips. After walks to John Stearns and Harry Parker loaded the bases, Wayne Garrett added an insurance pair with a single. Expos' scoring in the game included a homer by Pepe Mangual. [The Sporting News]
