Tom Seaver and Joe Price combined on a two-hitter as the Reds routed the Expos, 7-0. The Reds scored in their first turn at bat when Dave Collins was hit by a pitch, Dave Concepcion walked and George Foster clouted a three-run homer. They added two runs in the third on doubles by Collins and Concepcion and a run-scoring single by Ken Griffey. [The Sporting News]
