With two out in the ninth inning, Del Unser hit his second homer of the season to lift the Expos to a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals. An earlier homer by Andre Dawson in the sixth gave the Expos a 2-1 lead, but the Cardinals tied the score in the top half of the ninth on a single by Jerry Mumphrey and triple by Keith Hernandez.
