Del Unser, who was acquired in a recent deal with the Mets, hit a homer in the 11th inning to give the Expos a 3-2 victory over his former teammates. The Expos' first two runs in the game also came on homers, Barry Foote and Larry Parrish hitting them in the fifth inning.

The Mets tied the score in the eighth with singles by Jerry Grote and Jim Dwyer and a triple by Pepe Mangual. Dwyer and Mangual were sent to the Mets in the deal that brought Unser to the Expos. [The Sporting News]
