Lynn McGlothen, who had lost four and won only one of his last five previous starts, fired a five-hitter and pitched the Cardinals to a 3-0 victory over the Expos. The Cardinals, who had been scoreless for 23 consecutive innings, also broke out of their slump with two runs off Woodie Fryman in the fifth on a single by Mike Tyson, sacrifice by McGlothen, single by Jerry Mumphrey and double by Don Kessinger.
