In a meeting of two clubs with long losing streaks, the Expos snapped their string of eight straight defeats by posting a 6-3 victory over the Phillies, who went down to their seventh setback in succession. Ron Fairly was chiefly responsible for the Expos' triumph, driving in three runs with a homer in the fifth inning and accounting for another RBI with a single in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
