The Expos used four homers to defeat the Cardinals, 7-5, and complete a sweep of the three-game series. Tony Scott hit a three-run homer for the Cardinals in the third inning before Andre Dawson accounted for the first of the Expos' smashes in the fifth.

The Cards held a 5-3 lead in the sixth, but Tony Perez and Gary Carter tied the score with back-to-back homers. Sam Mejias then snapped the deadlock with the first homer of his major league career in the seventh. The Expos added an insurance run on a single by Dave Cash, sacrifice by Chris Speier and double by Ellis Valentine. [The Sporting News]
