How good where the starting pitchers? The first hit of the ball game by either team was in the bottom of the 6th by Expos 2B Fumiya Watari. So you knew one of these starters would be the player of the game, well it was the winning pitcher Eddie Hernanez.

The 25 year old Hernanez is now 10-6 with a 2.77 ERA in 21 starts. Hernanez was originally a free agent signing out of Mexico by the Royals in October 1969. He was acquired in trade by the Expos from the Royals along with LF Yue-Jiu Zhou in May 1972. In April 1975, Hernanez was ranked as the MLB's #24 prospect.

A big hit for the Expos was PH/3B Gilberto Luna coming off the bench in the 7th and he hit an RBI single that put the Expos up 2-1.

The Giants had bases loaded and 0-outs in the top of the 9th, LHP Robbie Jones came on to get a double play ball that delivered 1 run but got the next hitter to fly out to CF as the Expos held on for the win and Jones picked up his 1st save of the season bailing out CL Aidan Beasley who had allowed a hit and walked 2 to start the 9th.
