A brilliant one-hitter by Woodie Fryman enabled the Expos to edge the Giants, 1-0. The only hit off the veteran lefty was a line single to center by Darrell Evans in the second inning. The Expos scored in the fourth when Tony Perez stroked a one-out single and, after Warren Cromartie struck out, Larry Parrish tripled. [The Sporting News]
