Two walks and a single by Boots Day in the eighth inning produced the run that gave the Expos a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Bill Singer passed Tim McCarver to open the eighth and, after two out, also walked Tim Foli. Jim Brewer relieved and, on his first pitch, Day singled to drive in the winning run.
