Bill Bonham observed his 26th birthday with a victory and Rick Monday hit his career high 32nd homer of the season as the Cubs defeated the Expos, 3-1. Bonham needed help from Bruce Sutter after the Expos counted their run with one out in the ninth inning on doubles by Mike Jorgensen and Larry Parrish. Jose Morales made his 82nd pinch-hitting appearance for the Expos in the eighth, setting a major league record. [The Sporting News]
