The Dodgers broke a tie with two runs in the eighth inning and then exploded for six more runs in the ninth to clinch an 11-3 victory over the Expos. A hit batsman, a walk and singles by Bill Russell and Wes Parker produced the tie-breaking pair in the eighth. Jim Lefebvre homered with two men on base, Russell tripled for his fourth RBI of the game and Bill Buckner drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
