Steve Rogers posted his third shutout of the season, pitching the Expos to a 6-0 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, before the Padres came back to win the nightcap, 4-3. The Expos iced the first game with four runs in the second inning. Tim Foli, Del Unser, Gary Carter and Warren Cromartie hit singles to account for two runs and Ellis Valentine batted in two more with another single.

In the second game, the Padres counted twice in the first inning on a double by Johnny Grubb, triple by Dave Winfield and single by Mike Ivie. The Padres made it 4-0 in the third on a bases-loaded single by Ted Kubiak before the Expos fell short with a three-run rally in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
