Taking advantage of two errors, the Mets scored seven unearned runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Expos, 9-6, to give Roy McMillan a winning debut as manager replacing Yogi Berra. The game was stopped by rain with none out in the ninth while the Expos were in the midst of a rally. Del Unser, Felix Millan and Ed Kranepool hit doubles during the Mets' big inning and two runs were forced in on passes with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
