Scipio Spinks, newly acquired from Houston for Jerry Reuss, pitched five hits over seven innings, earning his second major league win and lifting the St. Louis Cardinals from a slump with a 6-1 victory over the Montreal Expos in Montreal. The Cards erupted for four runs in the eighth after taking an early 2-0 lead, aided by two hits and an RBI from Spinks. Additional scoring came from a first-inning two-run single by Ted Sizemore and run-scoring hits by Alou and Hague. The Expos’ lone run came in the eighth. The Mets swept a doubleheader from the Cubs 2-6-7-6 in 12 innings, while other NL games saw San Diego top Los Angeles 2-1 and Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh 6-4 in 11 innings.
