A grand slam by Roger Freed for the rookie outfielder's first major league homer helped the Phillies defeat the Expos, 11-4. In the fifth inning, after a double by Willie Montanez and two walks, the Expos lifted Carl Morton and brought in Howie Reed, who was the victim of the grand slam on his first pitch. Freed drove in another run with a single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
