The Mets rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Expos, 4-1. Pinch-hitter Bruce Boisclair led off the rally with a single before a walk to Wayne Garrett and single by Felix Millan loaded the bases. Reliever Wayne Granger walked Ed Kranepool to tie the score, 1-1, and Del Unser followed with a two-run single. Jerry Grote singled for the final run. [The Sporting News]
