Gary Carter drove in four runs with a single and a bases-loaded double to lead the Expos to a 7-4 victory over the Cubs. After Carter's single accounted for the initial run in the second inning, the Expos exploded for their remaining tallies in the fifth. A double by Andre Dawson, sacrifice fly by Tony Perez and single by Warren Cromartie each accounted for one run before Carter came up with the bases loaded and cleared the sacks with his double. Ross Grimsley gained his 13th victory with the assistance of Stan Bahnsen. [The Sporting News]
