In a staggering display of power, the Expos crushed the Braves, 19-0, as Larry Parrish drove in five runs with three homers and Andre Dawson had two round-trippers in the same inning. The Expos tied the major league record with eight home runs and set an N. L. record with 58 total bases.

Parrish smacked a three-run blast in the third and added solo shots in the fourth and fifth innings. Dawson led off the second stanza with a circuit clout off starter Tommy Boggs and smashed a solo shot off reliever Craig Skok to cap the eight-run outburst. The Expos also got a three-run homer by Dave Cash in the third, two-run homer by Tony Perez in the fifth and two-run homer by Chris Speier in the sixth. The Expos also established a club record for hits in one game with 28. [The Sporting News]
