Expos 4, Braves 3
Clay Kirby vs Dick Ruthven
Most of the offensive fireworks occurred in the opening frame. Montreal jumped out to a quick 3 run lead thanks to errors by Earl Williams and Jerry Roster. Sandwiched amongst Atlanta's folly were singles by Jerry White and Mike Jorgensen plus two stolen bases by Pepe Mangual. A wild pitch and a RBI single by Darrell Chaney made it 1 run game. Dave May's RBI triple tied it up in the 3rd, which is how it stayed until the top of the 9th. With two out Foli doubled to the opposite field and Pete Mackanin lined a clutch single to right center to score the go ahead run. No lead is safe when Dale Murray is on the hill in relief. Seeking to notch his first win of the campaign Murray decided to make his work tougher than it needed to be. Rookie catcher Dale Murphy led off with a double and moved to third on a infield single by pinch hitter Ken Henderson. On a wild pitch Murphy broke for the plate but was thrown out by a great throw by Barry Foote who played the carom off the backstop in text book fashion. Royster then grounded out to second with Henderson crossing over to third with 2 outs. Gilbreath rolled one weakly to Foli at short for the final out of the game as the 'Spos salvaged the final game of this close 3 game set.
