Functioning together as the battery, Ron Bryant and Dave Rader each drove in two runs as the Giants defeated the Expos, 6-3. Bryant started himself on the way to victory by knocking in the Giants' first two runs with a bases-loaded single in the second inning. Rader batted in a run with a double in the sixth and hit an inside-the-park homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
