Although falling two outs short of his first complete game of the season, Woodie Fryman nevertheless gained his seventh victory when the Expos defeated the Giants, 9-4. Only five of the Expos' runs were earned as a result of five errors by the Giants. Tim Foli batted in three runs and Larry Parrish accounted for two to pace the Expos' scoring. [The Sporting News]
