Singles by Ellis Valentine and Larry Parrish combined with two errors to give the Expos four unearned runs in the ninth inning and an 8-6 decision over the Cubs. With one out, Dave Cash walked and when third baseman Steve Ontiveros threw away a grounder by Andre Dawson, Cash reached third and Dawson second.
