Consecutive homers by Bob Bailey and Hal Breeden with two out in the eighth inning carried the Expos to a 3-2 victory over the Phillies and handed Ken Reynolds his ninth straight defeat. The Expos' initial run came in the first on a walk to Ron Hunt and double by Bailey. Willie Montanez homered for the Phillies in the second and then doubled and scored on a single by Greg Luzinski in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
