Dennis Blair pitched the first seven innings and Don DeMola hurled the last two, combining on a seven-hitter as the Expos defeated the Phillies, 5-1. The Phillies counted their run in the first on doubles by Dave Cash and Greg Luzinski. The Expos had two hits, a triple by Larry Biittner and single by Gary Carter, in the first five frames, but they resulted in a pair of unearned runs off Jim Lonborg.

The Expos then chased Lonborg in the seventh. After a walk to Bob Bailey and singles by Carter and Tim Foli resulted in one run, Tom Hilgendorf came in and gave up a double by Tony Scott for another run charged to Lonborg. [The Sporting News]
