Andre Dawson smashed a homer in the 11th to give the Expos a 4-3 victory over the Mets. Willie Montanez drove in two runs with a sacrifice fly and homer to help the Mets take a 3-0 lead. Craig Swan's streak of pitching 15 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings was snapped in the seventh when the Expos counted a pair of unearned runs on Tim Foli's error on a grounder by Dave Cash and doubles by Gary Carter and Larry Parrish.
