Held to one baserunner in the first three innings, the Expos knocked out Jim Kaat in the fourth, scored six runs and defeated the Phillies, 8-5. Tim Foli batted in two tallies with a double after Ron Reed replaced Kaat. The Phillies cut into the Expos' lead, but Mike Jorgensen clinched the verdict by hitting a homer with Jerry White on base in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
