The Expos turned a three-run fifth inning uprising into a 4-2 victory over the Pirates as Stan Bahnsen went the distance for the first time this season. Dave Cash doubled and Chris Speier singled to start the decisive fifth. Cash scored on Wayne Garrett's single and Speier also crossed the plate when Bill Robinson erred fielding the ball. Garrett, who reached third on the play, scored the third run of the inning on Gary Carter's squeeze bunt. [The Sporting News]
