Pinch-hitting with two out in the ninth inning, Biff Pocoroba came through with a grand slam to lift the Braves to a 9-6 victory over the Expos. A three-run homer by Jeff Burroughs in the third and solo swat by Gary Matthews in the sixth staked the Braves to a 4-1 lead, but the Expos came back to grab a 6-5 lead in the top half of the ninth.
