Although held to only three hits, all doubles, by Ross Grimsley, the Cardinals were able to defeat the Expos, 2-1, in 10 innings for their fourth straight victory. After Keith Hernandez walked with one out in seventh inning, Ted Simmons doubled for the first hit off Grimsley.

Following an intentional pass to George Hendrick, Ken Reitz hit a sacrifice fly. Ellis Valentine tied the score with a homer off Bob Forsch in the seventh. Mike Tyson doubled in the eighth and was stranded, but his second two-bagger won the game in the 10th. It came on a hit-and-run after Steve Swisher walked and drove in Jerry Mumphrey, who ran for the slower-footed catcher. [The Sporting News]
