Two homers by Bobby Murcer, who drove in four runs, led the Giants' attack in a 6-3 victory over the Expos. Darrell Evans accounted for the Giants' first two runs with a double in the fourth inning. Murcer hit his first homer of the game after a single by Marty Perez in the fifth and connected for the circuit again after a double by Gary Matthews in the eighth. Larry Parrish rapped two round-trippers and drove in all of the Expos' runs. The defeat was the Expos' sixth in a row.
