Lee Lacy hit a homer and Bill Russell drove in two runs with a single to pace the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Expos. Lacy connected for the circuit in the first inning. After the Expos picked up an unearned run on a wild throw by Russell in their half, the Dodgers' shortstop made up for his error in the second.

Willie Crawford singled, Ron Cey walked and Steve Yeager drove in a run with a double. Russell followed with his single to put the Dodgers ahead, 4-1. Gary Carter narrowed the gap with a two-run homer for the Expos in the eighth, but Davey Lopes accounted for an insurance run with a single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
