The Expos smashed three homers in the fourth inning, accounting for seven runs, and beat the Reds, 8-4, as Wayne Twitchell gained his first victory of the season and first in a Montreal uniform since being obtained in a deal with the Phillies. The victory, with help from Don Stanhouse, who pitched the last four innings, also was the first of Twitchell's career over the Reds, who had defeated him seven times.

Tony Perez walked to open the Expos' outburst and Gary Carter homered. Picking up that sequence, Warren Cromartie walked and Andre Dawson homered. After Twitchell singled to kayo Woodie Fryman, Dave Cash greeted the arrival of Tom Hume with a single and Ellis Valentine capped the Expos' big inning with a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
