Breaking a tight game apart with five runs on only two hits in the seventh inning, the Reds defeated the Expos, 10-7. The Expos made five errors in the game. In the seventh, with the Reds leading, 5-4, Bill Plummer singled, Doug Flynn walked and Rawly Eastwick sacrificed.

After an intentional pass to Pete Rose, Ken Griffey hit a two-run double. An intentional pass to Joe Morgan reloaded the bases and set the stage for the remaining runs on an error by Pete Mackanin and sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen. [The Sporting News]
