Before a Bat-Glove Day crowd of 31,019, largest ever to see a game at Jarry Park, Ron Fairly's two-run, seventh-inning single carried the Expos to a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Cubs. The Expos were trailing, 2-1, when Pepe Frias singled, Boots Day walked and Ron Hunt sacrificed, setting the scene for Fairly's blow that gave Mike Torrez his sixth win in 17 decisions and tagged Burt Hooton with his 10th loss. Mike Marshall blanked the Cubs in the last two frames to earn his 21st save, tops in the National League. [The Sporting News]
