The Expos erupted for eight runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Giants, 10-2, behind the four-hit pitching of Steve Rogers. In the Expos' big inning, Ellis Valentine batted in two runs with a single, Andre Dawson drove in two with a triple and Larr yParrish capped the outburst by hitting a homer with a man on base. The only runs off Rogers came on a pinch-homer by Randy Elliott in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
