A pair of two-run homers by Dave Winfield enabled the Padres to defeat the Expos, 6-3. An error by Rodney Scott led to the Padres' initial run on a single by Barry Evans in the first inning before Winfield hit his first homer of the game. After the Expos tied the score with a solo shot by Chris Speier and a two-run blow by Andre Dawson in the fifth, Jerry Turner broke the deadlock with a run-scoring single in the seventh and Winfield iced the decision with his second homer.
