Although John Montefusco was kayoed in the eighth inning, the Giants ended their six-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Expos came back to win the nightcap, 8-0, behind the two-hit hurling of Steve Rogers. Gary Matthews homered and Willie Montanez had three hits for the Giants in the first game.
