An error by Joe Morgan with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning admitted two unearned runs and enabled the Expos to defeat the Astros, 5-3. Walks to Bob Bailey and John Boccabella, around a single by Jim Fairey, loaded the bases before Dave McDonald rapped the grounder that Morgan muffed.
