Yielding only a first-inning single to Terry Whitfield, Scott Sanderson pitched the Expos to a 4-0 blanking of the Giants. The first run came in the fifth inning when Ellis Valentine singled, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by catcher John Tamargo and scored on a single by Andre Dawson. Larry Parrish hit a home run in the ninth to back the one-hit effort. [The Sporting News]
