The Giants' inability to turn a double play on an infield roller in the eighth inning enabled the Expos to score the run that produced a 6-5 victory. Andre Thornton and Barry Foote each hit two-run homers for the Expos. In the eighth, Gary Roenicke singled and took third on a single by Thornton. With one out, Larry Parrish grounded into a forceout of Thornton, but beat the throw to first, preventing a double play, as Roenicke scored what proved to be the Expos' winning run.
