Although failing to travel the route for the seventh straight time this season, Tom Seaver finally gained his first victory against three defeats when the Reds beat the Expos, 6-2. Pete Rose continued his torrid batting with two hits, including a double in the second inning when the Reds scored four runs. Seaver departed with none out in the seventh after serving up a two-run homer to Larry Parrish. Pedro Borbon finished.
