. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Dave Cash, who has been feasting on Cincinnati pitching this season, rapped two hits and scored two of the Expos' runs in a 4-2 victory over the Reds. Cash had 18 hits in 37 trips against the Reds for an average of .486. Cash doubled in the first inning, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Warren Cromartie.

In the fourth, Cash reached base on a forceout, stopped at third on a double by Cromartie and scored again on a sacrifice fly by Del Unser. Gary Carter added a run with a homer in the fifth. A triple by Larry Parrish and infield out by Cash produced the Expos' final marker in the ninth. George Foster drove in one of the Reds' runs with a single for his 119th RBI of the season.
