Homers by Andre Dawson, Larry Parrish and Tony Scott accounted for all of the Expos' runs and produced a 5-3 victory over the Pirates. Dawson started the slugging with his smash in the fourth inning. With two out in the sixth, Jerry White walked and Parrish followed with a two-run blow. Dave Cash led off the seventh with a pinch-double and, after one out, Scott hit a homer to account for the Expos' deciding pair. [The Sporting News]
