Jose Cardenal's first homer since May 31, with Rick Monday aboard in the fifth inning, snapped a tie and carried the Cubs to a 4-2 triumph over the Expos. Chicago scored twice in the first on two walks, Bill Madlock's single, a sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales and Pete LaCock's RBI single. Mike Jorgensen and Larry Biittner produced the Expos' tallies with run-scoring singles in the top of the third. [The Sporting News]
