Ross Grimsley, making his first N.L. appearance in four years, tossed a three-hitter to give the Expos a 5-0 verdict over the Mets and a split of their doubleheader. It was the Expos' first victory of the season. In the opener, Steve Henderson clubbed a pinch-hit, bases-loaded homer and Bruce Boisclair hit a two-run blast as the Mets held on for a 6-5 decision.
