John Montefusco struck out 14 batters, a high for an N. L. game this season, while pitching the Giants to a 9-1 victory over the Expos. Bobby Murcer, returning to action for the first time in 12 days after suffering a hamstring pull, drove in two runs with a single and Bruce Miller accounted for four RBIs with a triple and single in the Giants' support of their rookie righthander.
