Andre Dawson and Gary Carter each hit two home runs to help the Expos come out ahead in a slugfest with the Giants, 14-8. Dawson had four of the Expos' 17 hits and drove in three runs. Carter and Tony Perez also accounted for three RBIs apiece and Warren Cromartie, batting safely in his 15th straight game, rapped three hits and drove in two runs.
