Gary Carter knocked in four runs with a homer and single to lead the Expos to a 6-3 victory over the Cardinals, who were knocked out of the East Division race for all practical purposes, falling nine games behind the Pirates. Dan Warthen, who pitched the first complete-game victory of his major league career, gave up two runs in the first inning on a walk, single and error. Carter tied the score with a two-run homer in the second and then knocked in two more with a single in the third when the Expos added their other tallies at the expense of Lynn McGlothen.
