A tie-breaking single by Larry Parrish with two out in the eighth inning gave the Expos a 4-3 victory over the Reds. A homer by Dave Concepcion helped the Reds take a 3-1 lead before the Expos pulled even in the seventh with a single by Andre Thornton, double by Parrish and single by Pete Mackanin. In the eighth, Jerry White singled off Will McEnaney, took second on a sacrifice and halted at third on a single by Bombo Rivera. Rawly Eastwick then fanned Thornton before Parrish singled.
