A long single by Tony Perez with the bases loaded in the fifth inning produced three runs and sent the Expos on their way to a 7-2 victory in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader after the Braves won the first game, 5-3. Phil Niekro pitched a six-hitter for the Braves in the opener. Jeff Burroughs batted in two runs with a double in the fifth to put the Braves ahead, 3-2, but the Expos tied the score in their half on a double by Chris Speier and single by Dave Cash. The Braves broke away with a run on singles by Biff Pocoroba, Rod Gilbreath and Pat Rockett in the sixth before Niekro added an insurance run with an infield out.
