Expos Win at Seattle, 8-3
Montreal rode a decent outing from starter Mark Guthrie to victory over the Seattle Pilots at Kingdome. The final score was 8-3. In 8 innings, Guthrie surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 3. He allowed 3 runs. Montreal is now 85-47, 8 games up in the United League East Division.

It could have been a different outcome for Montreal, had it not been for Raul Mondesi, the slugging right fielder . Mondesi contributed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put Montreal up, 1-0.

"I like our moxie," said Expos manager David Polakoff.
