Mike Ivie hit a grand-slam homer and Merv Rettenmund knocked in four other runs to pace the Padres to a 12-4 victory over the Expos, who lost their 10th straight game. Ivie's jackpot wallop came off Gerry Hannahs in the first inning after Bill Almon was safe on an error and Rettenmund and Dave Winfield walked. Rettenmund accounted for his four RBIs with a double and homer. [The Sporting News]
