Starring both on the mound and at the plate, Bill Lee led the Expos to a 3-0 blanking of the Dodgers. The lefty scattered seven hits en route to his third shutout of the season and drove in two runs with a fifth-inning single.

With one out in the fifth, Gary Carter drew a walk, Ellis Valentine singled and Larry Parrish doubled for one run. One out later, Lee followed with a single that delivered Parrish and Valentine. [The Sporting News]
