Larry Biittner hit a bases-loaded single in the sixth inning when the Cubs rallied for four runs to defeat the Expos, 5-3. The Expos held a 3-1 lead before the Cubs began their comeback, starting with passes to Manny Trillo and Steve Ontiveros. Bill Buckner and Ivan DeJesus followed with run-scoring singles to tie the game. After another walk filled the bases, Biittner delivered his single for two runs to provide the Cubs' winning margin.
