Reliever Mike Marshall recorded his 13th save as the Dodgers defeated the Expos, 3-1, in the doubleheader opener, but Marshall was saddled with the defeat as the Expos took the nightcap, 5-2. The Dodgers' Dave Lopes broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning of the opener when he scored from second as pitcher Steve Rogers made a wild throw on a pickoff attempt. Steve Yeager walloped a homer in the fifth to give the Dodgers a 3-1 edge as Burt Hooton logged his sixth straight win with help from Marshall in the eighth.

In the nightcap, the Expos' Larry Biittner homered in second, then singled home the tie-breaking run off Marshall in a three-run eighth. Dale Murray relieved Steve Renko in the seventh and pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings for his eighth win. [The Sporting News]
