Two Expos' batters with low averages, Barry Foote (.083) and Nate Colbert (.186), smashed consecutive homers in the eighth inning during a five-run outburst that beat the Cardinals, 7-3. Bob Bailey walked and Larry Lintz came in to run before Foote scored his round-tripper.

Colbert followed with his first homer since being obtained by the Expos from the Tigers on June 15. Three singles, an error and sacrifice fly added two more runs before the inning ended. Steve Renko, who overcame a shaky start, pitched his first complete game of the season for the Expos. [The Sporting News]
