Don Carrithers turned in his fifth victory for the Expos, all in complete games, beating the Cardinals, 6-2. The righthander, who had lost three times, did not register his first decision until August 5 after being on the disabled list for a month following his recall from Memphis (International). The Expos' support for Carrithers included a homer by Larry Parrish. [The Sporting News]
