Mike Vail extended his hitting streak to 23 games, tying the modern N. L. record for a rookie, driving home two runs as the Mets nipped the Expos, 3-2. Vail accounted for the deciding tally with an eighth-inning single which scored pinch-runner Gene Clines to snap a 2-2 tie.

The Expos scored both their runs in the second. Vail singled home the first New York run in the sixth and the Mets tied the score in the seventh on throwing errors by Larry Parrish and Mike Jorgensen, plus a wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
