Errors by shortstop Mario Guerrero and first baseman Reggie Smith enabled the Expos to post a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals in the second game of a twi-nighter after the Redbirds won the opener, 6-4, for Bob Gibson's 250th career triumph. With the score tied 4-4 in the seventh inning of the nightcap, winning pitcher Dan Warthen reached first on Guerrero's error. Pepe Mangual forced Warthen and then stole second base. He moved to third on Tim Foli's groundout and scored when Smith was unable to handle Mike Jorgensen's grounder.

Gibson went six innings in the opener and the 39-year-old righthander, baseball's winningest active pitcher, was supported by Lou Brock and Ted Sizemore who each drove in two runs. Brock singled home a third-inning run and also doubled in the final Card tally in the ninth. Sizemore hit a two-run double in the fifth to give the visitors a 4-0 lead. [The Sporting News]
