A three-hitter by Steve Rogers carried the Expos to a 3-0 blanking of the Giants. Andre Dawson reached first base on an error by third baseman Darrell Evans to open the game and Rodney Scott followed with a homer. Scott singled and scored on a double by Warren Cromartie in the third for the other tally. [The Sporting News]
