Ken Griffey led off the tenth inning with a homer to snap a 3-3 tie and Johnny Bench followed with another homer one out later as the Reds broke their six-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Expos in a nationally televised game. Expo errors had given the Reds three unearned runs in the fifth frame, but the home team came back to tie the score.

Tim Foli singled and scored on Gary Carter's double in the fifth. Pete Mackanin hit his first major league homer in the sixth and Jose Morales slammed a pinch-hit homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
