After issuing three passes to load the bases, Dennis Blair struck out Johnny Bench, but the Expos' lefthander couldn't get past Tony Perez, who hit a grand-slam homer to start the Reds off to a 10-3 victory. After Perez' poke in the third inning, the Reds added four more runs in the fourth. Perez accounted for one run with an infield out for his fifth RBI of the game. Gary Carter homered for the Expos.
