Don Stanhouse hit his first major league homer, connecting with the bases loaded for the first grand slam by a pitcher in Expos' history, but the righthander then lost to the Cubs, 8-6, when Greg Gross also hit his first major league homer with two men aboard. In the Expos' second inning, Tony Perez doubled and scored on a single by Warren Cromartie. After a single by Andre Dawson, pass to Wayne Garrett and Tim Blackwell's forceout of Cromartie at the plate, Stanhouse ripped into a pitch by Bill Bonham for his jackpot wallop. Larry Biittner homered for the Cubs with a man on base in the third.
