The Expos stunned the Cubs, 19-3, in the first game and followed with a 7-6 victory in the second game to sweep a doubleheader with the East Division leaders. The Expos went wild in the opener, collecting 20 hits, including three doubles and two singles by Warren Cromartie, two homers by Ellis Valentine and one apiece by Larry Parrish and Andre Dawson. Valentine drove in five runs. With the game out of hand, first baseman-outfielder Larry Biittner made his pro pitching debut for the Cubs in the eighth inning. Taking over with two men on base, Biittner was tagged for a homer by Parrish. After Jackie Brown struck out [to end the inning], Valentine also hit for the circuit. Dawson rapped a three-run homer off Biittner in the ninth as the Expos completed their scoring with five runs.
