Completing the three-game series sweep, the Reds edged the Expos, 3-2. Doubles by Ray Knight and Cesar Geronimo gave the Reds a run in the second inning and they added another in the fourth on a homer by Geronimo. The Expos scored twice in the top of the seventh, but the Reds came back with the winning run in their half when Dave Concepcion doubled home Ken Griffey, who had walked. [The Sporting News]
