The slugging of Andre Dawson powered the Expos to a 3-1 triumph over the Reds. Reds' ace Tom Seaver lost the fifth of his last six starts as his own error on a play at first base in the third inning helped the Expos. Hal Dues reached base on the misplay and scored on a double by Dawson. A double by Ellis Valentine and single by Warren Cromartie made it 2-0 in the sixth and Dawson hit a solo homer off Mike LaCoss in the eighth.
