A grand-slam homer by Mike Jorgensen in the fourth inning provided the decisive blow as the Expos defeated the Cubs, 9-4. Doubles by Pepe Mangual, Pete Mackanin and Larry Parrish led the Expos to a 3-0 lead before they opened the fourth by loading the bases on a single by Mackanin, a late throw to second on a grounder by Barry Foote and single by Mangual.

A single by Tim Foli drove in one run. After Tony Scott grounded into a forceout at the plate, Jorgensen hit the second grand slam of his major league career, both off Rick Reuschel. Steve Rogers, who gained his first victory of the season as the Expos' starter, gave up a homer by Rick Monday in the sixth and yielded three more runs in the seventh before Chuck Taylor came in and retired nine straight batters.
