Pinch-hitting in the ninth inning, Nate Colbert came through with a three-run homer to give the Expos a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. Although collecting only four hits off Steve Renko and two relievers, the Phillies scored two runs on a walk and homer by Greg Luzinski in the fourth inning and added a tainted tally on a double by Jay Johnstone and error by Larry Parrish in the eighth. The Expos' initial run came in the third on a single by Jose Morales and double by Bob Bailey.

Tom Underwood retired the first batter in the Expos' ninth before Tim Foli and Barry Foote singled. Underwood's first pitch to Colbert proved his undoing with the homer by the Expos' pinch-hitter. [The Sporting News]
