The Expos scored two runs in the first inning to win the opener, 2-1, and followed with a 14-hit attack to beat the Giants in the nightcap, 5-2, in a sweep of a doubleheader. In the getaway frame of the lidlifter, Pepe Mangual beat out an infield hit, took second on a sacrifice and stole third. After a pass to Mike Jorgensen, Mangual scored on a wild pitch. Pat Scanlon then singled to drive in Jorgensen with what proved to be the deciding run. The Giants scored in the eighth on a double by Von Joshua and singles by Gary Thomasson and Derrel Thomas before Dan Warthen relieved and saved the game for Steve Renko.

The Expos again got off to a two-run lead in the first inning of the second game, added a tally in the third and made it 4-0 when Mangual hit a homer in the fourth. The Giants' two runs came in the fifth on a walk and homer by Marc Hill. [The Sporting News]
