Batting with two out in the ninth inning, Expos' reliever Dale Murray singled to climax a two-run rally that beat the Phillies, 6-5. After the Expos took a 4-0 lead, the Phillies scored three runs in the seventh and added the tying tally in the eighth on a triple by Garry Maddox and single by Dave Cash.

With two away in the Expos' ninth, Pete Mackanin beat out an infield hit, stole second and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Tim Foli. Murray then singled to plate Foli with what proved to be the winning marker. Dick Allen drove in a run with a double in the Phillies' half of the ninth, but Murray retired Mike Schmidt on a fly to end the game. [The Sporting News]
