The Expos ended their six-game losing streak by defeating the Cardinals, 6-2, behind the pitching of Steve Rogers, who yielded only five hits before turning the mound over to Joe Kerrigan in the ninth inning after his right knee stiffened. Tony Perez knocked in a run with a single in the first inning and Dawson stole home for the first time in his major league career in the fourth.

After the Cardinals picked up their pair on a pass to Jerry Mumphrey and homer by Ken Reitz, Chris Speier doubled and Warren Cromartie singled to send the Expos ahead again in the fifth. Del Unser homered in the sixth. A safe bunt by Warren Cromartie, triple by Dawson and infield hit by Perez wrapped up the scoring in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
