Ross Grimsley pitched a two-hitter and Tony Perez drove in the game's only run with a sacrifice fly as the Expos defeated the Cubs, 1-0. An error resulted in Dennis Lamp's loss in his duel with Grimsley. In the sixth inning, Dave Cash was safe on a miscue by Manny Trillo. Andre Dawson then doubled and Ellis Valentine was handed an intentional pass to load the bases before Perez came through with his run-scoring fly. [The Sporting News]
