Steve Renko, who had not been in the winner's column since July 4, ended his personal string of four defeats by pitching the Expos to a 5-1 victory over the Padres. A walk to Pepe Mangual, a stolen base and singles by Gary Carter, Jose Morales and Larry Parrish gave the Expos two runs int he first inning.

Renko had control trouble in the Padres' half, passing three and yielding a run on a sacrifice fly by Dave Winfield. However, he settled down and stifled the Padres the rest of the way on three hits. Renko also aided his own cause with a run-scoring single in the second inning. [The Sporting News]
