The Expos were shut out for the seventh time this season when they collected only five hits off Larry Dierker and lost to the Astros, 6-0. A single by Roger Metzger, pass to Cesar Cedeno and single by Jose Cruz in the fourth inning provided the only run that Dierker needed, but the Astros went on to pad their lead with the aid of a triple and single by Greg Gross, who drove in two runs, and a homer by Metzger with a man on base.
