Larry Parrish's run-scoring single capped a three-run ninth as the Expos ended the five-game Reds' win string with an 8-7 victory. Mike Jorgensen tied the score with a two-run single, took second on the throw to the plate and scored on Parrish's hit.

The Reds had taken a 7-5 lead in the eighth on RBI singles by George Foster and Merv Rettenmund. The Expos broke from a 5-0 deficit in the sixth against starter Tom Carroll with Parrish hitting a two-run triple and Larry Biittner, Tim Foli and Pete Mackanin singling in runs. A Rettenmund homer and two-run triples by Pete Rose and Johnny Bench put the Reds in front. [The Sporting News]
