. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Paced by Tony Perez, who had three hits in as many official trips, the Expos snapped the Dodgers' seven-game winning streak, 6-3. Perez batted in two runs and scored two. Rudy May, who started for the Expos, was removed in the second inning.

The Expos then broke a 2-2 tie against Burt Hooton with two runs in the third on doubles by Warren Cromartie and Perez, an infield out and a sacrifice fly by Andre Dawson. Three walks in the fifth led to the Expos' final pair on a grounder by Dawson and single by Gary Carter. [The Sporting News]
