Hank Aaron wrapped up the Braves' 6-1 victory over the Expos by driving in two runs in the seventh inning with his 16th homer of the season and 729th of his illustrious career. The Braves' other runs came in the first on two homers. Marty Perez singled, Aaron walked, Dusty Baker hit for the circuit and Darrell Evans followed with another round-tripper. The Expos counted only in the sixth on a pass to Mike Jorgensen and singles by Jim Northrup and Ken Singleton. [The Sporting News]
