Homers by Ellis Valentine, Andre Dawson and Warren Cromartie sparked the Expos to a 7-4 decision over the Cubs. Valentine snapped the scoreless tie with a leadoff home run in the fourth inning. Cromartie followed with a single and scored on a homer by Dawson.

The Expos added four more in the eighth. Gary Carter singled and came home on a double by Del Unser. A double by Valentine plated Unser and Cromartie followed with a blast over the right field fence. [The Sporting News]
