Rick Monday scored an unearned run from second base on Pete LaCock's fly deep to right field in the eighth inning to give the Cubs and pitcher Ray Burris a 2-1 victory over the Expos. Monday beat out a single off the glove of third baseman Larry Parrish with one out and reached second on Jerry Morales' grounder when second sacker Larry Lintz dropped the ball on an attempted force play. LaCock followed with a drive which right fielder Gary Carter caught against the wall and then fell down as Monday was waved home and beat the relay to the plate.

The Cubs' first run came on a bases-loaded walk in the second inning. The Expos' only tally came in that same frame on a single by Pete Mangual and double by Carter. [The Sporting News]
