A bases-loaded homer by Warren Cromartie powered the Expos to an 8-6 triumph over the Braves in the first game of a twin bill, but a two-run homer by Jeff Burroughs was the Braves' margin of victory in the 3-1 nightcap win. The Expos trailed, 6-3, going into the ninth inning of the first game when Andre Dawson stroked a one-out double. Ellis Valentine walked and a single by Tony Perez scored Dawson. An error by third baseman Bob Horner allowed Larry Parrish to reach first and load the bases. Cromartie then unloaded the first grand slam of his career.
