Steve Rogers allowed only one hit -- a solo homer by Reggie Smith in the first inning -- while pitching the Expos to a 4-1 victory over the Dodgers. The only other batter to reach base against Rogers was Steve Garvey, who was safe on an error in the eighth inning.

The first Expos' run came in the fifth on a single by Larry Parrish, sacrifice by Rogers and single by Dave Cash. Andre Dawson then provided the winning blow in the sixth, clouting a homer after Tony Perez and Ellis Valentine had singled. [The Sporting News]
