Completing a sweep of the three-game series, the Expos pounded out 15 hits, including two homers by Bob Bailey and one by Coco Laboy, to defeat the Braves, 10-1. Although tagged for 10 hits, Carl Morton might have posted a shutout, except for an error that gave the Braves an unearned run. [The Sporting News]
