Steve Carlton held the Expos to five singles while Greg Luzinski homered twice. Willie Montanez went 3-for-4 with triple, a walk, one RBI and two runs. Larry Bowa also scored twice. Carlton walked none and struck out four.
Atlanta 8, New York 0
Phil Niekro allowed just three hits, all singles, and got three double plays turned behind him. The knuckleballer did walk four while striking out four. Dusty Baker went 4-for-5 and scored three runs; Henry Aaron, Dave Johnson and Paul Casanova each drove in two runs for Atlanta.
Pittsburgh 5, St. Louis 4
Willie Stargell's bases-loaded double off Al Hrbrosky capped a five-run explosion in the top of the ninth. The Cardinals had scored four unearned runs in the third off Jim Rooker, with Mitch Kelleher driving in two of those runs, and Bob Gibson carried the 4-0 lead into the ninth. But he left after allowing singles to Manny Sanguillen, Milt May and pinch-hitter Jackie Hernandez, and Hrbrosky gave up hits to pinch-hitter Gene Clines and Rennie Stinnett before Stargell's big blow. Steve Blass, who pitched two scoreless innings, got the win. Richie Hebner is out until April 28; he remains on the active roster.
Chicago 9, Houston 1
Rick Monday homered, doubled and singled with two runs scored and two RBIs. The Cubs knocked Don Wilson out of the box in the third inning, racking up nine hits and seven runs off the righty. Rick Rueschel walked four men in six innings but got the win; Jack Aker threw three scoreless innings of relief and was credited with the save. Glenn Beckert misses Monday's game with injury.
