Homers by Bobby Bonds and Willie McCovey, accounting for five runs in the sixth inning, powered the Giants to an 8-3 victory over the Expos. Before their sluggers went into the act, the Giants scored one run in the sixth on a double by Tito Fuentes, pass to Al Gallagher and single by Jimmy Rosario to tie the game at 2-2.

Bonds then cracked his homer for three runs to shatter the deadlock. Chris Speier singled and McCovey added his 450-foot drive into the right field bleachers for the longest homer at Candlestick Park this season. Bob Bailey hit the 100th homer of his major league career for the Expos. [The Sporting News]
