Home runs by Tony Perez and Andre Dawson, plus tight pitching by Steve Rogers and Stan Bahnsen, carried the Expos to a doubleheader sweep over the Mets, 5-1 and 3-2. Rogers pitched a four-hitter in the opener, backed by Perez' two-run shot, for his sixth triumph.

Bahnsen hurled his first National League victory in the nightcap, going five innings in his first start with the Expos. Dawson's two-run smash came off loser Jackson Todd. Dawson also rapped a key single in the three-run sixth inning of the opener. Ed Kranepool misplayed the hit, allowing two runs to score. [The Sporting News]
