. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dan Warthen, making his first start since returning from Denver (American Association), allowed only two hits and pitched the Expos to a 4-0 victory over the Mets. Lee Mazzilli accounted for both hits with singles in the fifth and eighth innings. Ellis Valentine and Earl Williams socked back-to-back homers in the sixth to beat Jerry Koosman. The Expos iced the verdict with a pair of unearned runs in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
