Rallying from a 3-0 deficit, the Dodgers edged the Expos, 4-3. The Dodgers tied the score in the eighth inning with a single by Bill North and homers by Reggie Smith and Ron Cey. In the ninth, North stroked a two-out single and advanced to second on Expo pitcher Wayne Twitchell's wild throw on a pickoff attempt. After a walk to Smith, Steve Garvey lined a 2-1 pitch to center for the game-winning hit. [The Sporting News]
