Jolting Chicago's hopes for the divisional championship, the Expos won both ends of a twin bill from the Cubs, 5-3 and 6-5, in 10 innings. The Expos trailed, 3-1, entering the fifth frame of the lidlifter but scored three times on a single by Dave Cash, a hit batsman, a double by Tony Perez and two-run single by Warren Cromartie. Perez added an insurance with an eighth-inning home run.
