An error was a factor in each game as the Expos and Padres split a doubleheader, with the Padres winning the opener, 6-5, and the Expos taking the nightcap by the same 6-5 score. In the seventh inning of the first game, when the Padres scored four times to take a 5-2 lead, two of their runs were unearned on an error by Gary Sutherland. Bob Bailey homered for the Expos in the eighth, but Ivan Murrell socked one for the Padres in their half to provide what proved to be the winning blow. The Expos fell short with a two-run rally in the ninth inning.

In the nightcap, with the score tied, 3-3, the Expos started the ninth with a single by John Bateman. Adolfo Phillips, running for Bateman, took second on a sacrifice by Coco Laboy and stopped at third on a single by Ron Fairly. Bobby Wine then bunted and when Dave Roberts booted the ball, Phillips scored. Ron Willis relieved and, with two out, Jim Fairey singled to drive in the deciding run. Cito Gaston had three hits for the Padres, including a homer. [The Sporting News]
