After scoring their first four runs on homers, the Reds turned to a single in the 11th inning and counted twice to defeat the Expos, 6-4. Joe Morgan homered with two men on base and Mike Lum added a solo swat for the Reds' initial tallies of the game. However in the 11th, Dave Concepcion came up with the bases loaded and rapped a single to produce the victory. [The Sporting News]
