An unearned run that scored with two out in the eighth inning enabled the Expos to edge the Astros, 8-7. The Expos broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh, charging ahead with four runs. A pass to Larry Lintz, single by Tim Foli and an error by Greg Gross on the hit produced the first run. After Foli was out at third on a grounder by Pepe Mangual, Mike Jorgensen walked and Larry Biittner smashed a three-run homer. However, the Astros came back with four runs in the eighth on singles by Ken Boswell and Enos Cabell, a wild throw by Foli after Gross forced Cabell, and singles by Roger Metzger, Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson.

An error by Boswell, allowing Barry Foote to reach base, led to the Expos' winning run in their half of the eighth. Pete Mackanin sacrificed. Following an intentional pass to Jose Morales, Foli flied out but Mangual came through with a single, driving in Jerry White, who ran for Foote. [The Sporting News]
