After taking the lead with a two-run rally in the ninth inning, the Expos needed sharp throws by Mike Jorgensen and Pepe Frias to escape with a 3-2 victory over the Giants. Ken Singleton batted in a run for the Expos in the fifth inning, but the Giants tied the score with a homer by Gary Matthews in the seventh. Bob Bailey led off the ninth with a homer for the Expos and Jorgensen followed with a single. Barry Foote sacrificed, Frias singled, Jorgensen stopping at third, and Dennis Blair then hit a sacrifice fly to drive in what proved to be the winning run.
