Bob Gibson's 11-game winning streak was stopped when the Expos scored three runs in the first inning to defeat the Cardinals, 3-1. Singles by Ron Hunt and Jim Fairey, around a pass to Bob Bailey, produced the first run. Bailey was caught trying to steal third, but Fairey moved to second on the play. After a single by Ron Fairly, Fairey scored on a wild pitch. Ken Singleton then doubled to drive in Fairly. [The Sporting News]
