A triple by Mike Jorgensen with the bases loaded in the third inning proved the decisive hit for the Expos in gaining a 5-2 victory over the Braves. Tim Foli struck out, but reached base on a passed ball. After Mike Torrez forced Foli, Ron Hunt was hit by a pitch and Boots Day singled to set the stage for Jorgensen's triple.
