The Giants, who collected only one hit off Woodie Fryman in a 1-0 loss August 16, gained revenge, chasing the veteran lefthander in the fifth inning and defeating the Expos, 4-1. Hector Cruz, who led the Giants' attack, doubled in the second inning and scored on another two-bagger by Johnnie LeMaster. Cruz then homered in the fourth.

After Fryman left in the fifth, Wayne Twitchell walked Cruz with the bases loaded to force in the Giants' third run. Their last tally resulted from two errors by Larry Parrish on the same play in the seventh. Gary Carter homered for the Expos' run. [The Sporting News]
