A bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Expos to a 6-5 decision over the Braves. The score was 5-5 when Ellis Valentine began the Expos' 11th with a single. Two outs later, a single by pinch-hitter Dave Cash and an error on Braves' right fielder Gary Matthews moved Valentine to third and brought on Adrian Devine in relief of Craig Skok. Andre Dawson received an intentional walk to load the bases and Rodney Scott then drew a base on balls on a 3-2 pitch to force home the winning run. [The Sporting News]
