The six-hit pitching of Scott Sanderson enabled the Expos to edge the Phillies, 1-0, and complete the three-game series sweep, all by shutouts. The Expos scored the game's only run in the first inning when Andre Dawson doubled, advanced to third on a sacrifice by Rodney Scott and scored on a sacrifice fly by Warren Cromartie.
