The Braves' recent conversion of Buzz Capra into a starting pitcher continued to pay off when the righthander shut out the Expos, 9-0. In four starts since coming out of the bullpen, Capra had three victories with a no decision in his other outing. Although collecting 10 hits, the Expos were unable to put them together to avoid a shutout. The Braves piled up 16 hits, including a homer and three singles by Rowland Office. Craig Robinson had a double and single and drove in three runs. [The Sporting News]
