With Ross Grimsley tossing a four-hitter to become the first eight-game winner in the N. L., the Expos stopped the Cubs, 4-2. The loss halted the Cubs' winning streak at eight games. A three-run sixth inning was decisive for the winners. Stan Papi doubled to lead off the frame and Gary Carter drew a walk. Donnie Moore relieved Woodie Fryman on the hill and was greeted with an RBI double by Tony Perez.

Ellis Valentine singled to score Carter 
and tie game at 2-2 and Perez scored the go-ahead marker on Andre Dawson's groundout. The Cubs' runs came in the fourth inning on a double by Gene Clines, single by Bill Buckner and triple by Manny Trillo. Perez drove in an insurance tally for the Expos in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
