Achieving his first complete game of the season while striking out 13 batters, Tom Seaver pitched the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Expos. Joe Morgan drove in four runs with a homer and double. His round-tripper came in the fifth inning.

Seaver led off that frame with a walk and moved to third on a double by Pete Rose. A single by Ken Griffey scored Seaver, and Morgan then stroked the ball over the right field fence. [The Sporting News]
