Braves 3, Expos 2
Andy Messersmith vs Don Carrithers
A 3 run outburst by the Braves in the top of the first sealed the fate of the offensively challenged Expos. Successive RBI singles by Ken Henderson and Earl Williams plated two runs and a sac fly by Chaney plated the third. Carrithers would settle down nicely after that embarrassing first and almost go the distance. His opposing number Andy Messersmith did go the distance. Larry Parrish's RBI single in the bottom of the first made it 3-1. Mike Jorgensen would deliver home Pepe Mangual in the 5th to make it 3-2, but the Expos would not get any closer. Jorgensen who had 3 successive singles missed a game tying homer in the 7th that ran out of legs as it sliced toward the opposite field foul poll. Messersmith would improve his record to 3-5 with a 2.72 ERA, so 3 runs must have seemed like a lot to him.
