Exploding for six runs in the fifth inning, the Braves defeated the Expos, 9-4. The Expos held a 2-1 lead before the Braves began their assault when Ron Reed walked, Ralph Garr singled and Marty Perez was safe on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Darrell Evans singled to drive in one run, Earl Williams plated a pair with a single and Mike Lum batted in two more with a triple before Larvell Blanks capped the outburst with a single to score Lum.
