Rusty Staub smashed the first grand slam of his major league career as the Expos set a Montreal club record for the most runs in one inning, scoring seven times in the eighth, to cap a 12-4 victory over the Braves. Mike Lum hit a homer for the Braves, but the Expos had circuit clouts by John Boccabella and Coco Laboy to help produce a 5-4 lead before their big inning. A double by Don Hahn and Staub's grand slam were the Expos' only hits in their outburst, but they took advantage of three walks and two errors. [The Sporting News]
