The Expos erupted for four runs in the third inning, three scoring on John Boccabella's first homer of the season, to defeat the Cardinals, 5-1. A single by Ken Singleton, pass to Mike Jorgensen and single by Bob Bailey produced the first run of the stanza before Boccabella connected for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
