Expos Reel-In 7-5 Win Over Phillies
Montreal and Philadelphia duked it out and the Expos came out victorious.

The 7-5 Montreal win over Philadelphia was due in large part to Leon Roberts. The Expos center fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Jim Burton got credit for the win, improving to 1-1. He allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in 8 innings.

Jody Davis, the former first round draft pick , had a direct impact on the outcome. Davis contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Montreal up, 3-0.

In postgame comments to the Montreal Herald, Davis said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

The Phillies fall to 6-11 and continue their uneven start to the 1981 season.
