After pitching no-hit ball for six innings, Jim Barr began to weaken and needed help from Randy Moffitt in the ninth before the Giants defeated the Expos, 6-2. In his last 2 1/3 innings, Barr yielded six hits. However, the Giants' starter helped himself to victory by driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
