A single by Gary Carter in the 11th inning for his third hit of the game drove in the run that gave the Expos a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Pepe Mangual walked to lead off and Mike Jorgensen sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Larry Biittner, Carter rapped his single to pin the defeat on Jose Sosa, a loser in relief in his first appearance for the Astros since being called up from Columbus (Southern).
