Three homers by Deron Johnson highlighted the Phillies' 11-5 verdict over the Expos. Coupled with a round-tripper his last time up the night before, the Phils' first-sacker had four consecutive homers to tie a major league record held by 10 others.

Johnson homered off Carl Morton following singles by Tim McCarver in the first and third innings and connected again off Dan McGinn to open a seven-run, sixth-inning uprising. This wiped out the early lead Montreal had taken on a three-run homer by Boots Day in the first inning and two-run circuit smash by Morton in the second. [The Sporting News]
