Collared in seven trips, Mike Vail was stopped on his 23-game hitting streak, but the Mets were able to defeat the Expos, 4-3, in 18 innings on a pass with the bases loaded. With one out, Roy Staiger singled and stopped at second on a hit by Mike Phillips. Don DeMola then walked Jerry Grote to load the bases and passed Del Unser, forcing in Staiger, to end the four-hour, 29-minute contest. [The Sporting News]
