The Expos committed six errors and deprived themselves of a possible 1-0 victory before losing to the Braves in the 10th inning, 2-1. A double by Gary Carter and single by Larry Parrish produced the Expos' run in the seventh. However, Parrish booted a grounder by Dusty Baker in the ninth and when Larry Biittner also bobbled the ball in left field, Baker reached second, in position to score the tying run on a single by Larvell Blanks.

Marty Perez drew a walk in the Braves' 10th, advanced to second on a single by Darrell Evans and continued to third when Carter fumbled the ball in right field. Earl Williams then popped a single over first base to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
