Bob Bailey hit a two-run homer in support of Steve Renko, who turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Expos to a 3-1 victory over the Cardinals. The Expos scored a run in the third inning on singles by Renko, Tim Foli and Willie Davis before Ron Fairly singled in the fourth and Bailey hit his decisive homer. The Cardinals counted their lone run in the seventh on a double by Tom Heintzelman and single by Bake McBride. [The Sporting News]
