GAME 23 - May 9, 1976 - "Murcer-Mash"

Giants 3, Expos 2 (Game 1 - DH)
John Montefusco vs Dan Warthen

A three run blast by Bobby Murcer was the only blemish on Dan  Warthen's day.  Montreal's embattled lefty would go on to throw 7 shutout innings after Murcer's opening salvo in the top of the first, but the Expo offense once again never arrived.  Jim Dwyer's two run single in the bottom of the 4th would cut San Fran's lead to 1, but John "the Count" Montefusco was not about to give up anymore.  The Count would go the distance for his second win of the season.  Montreal had the bases loaded in the bottom of the 8th, but Montefusco was able to get Gary Carter to hit a slow roller to Derrell Thomas at second to end the inning and Montreal's chances to tie it.  Warthen would fan 6, but would see his season record fall to 0-3 thanks to his first inning troubles.
