Tony Bernazard hit his first major league homer, connecting with two men on base, and Gary Carter added a two-run shot to power the Expos to a 7-2 victory over the Dodgers. Bill Lee and Don Sutton had three-hit shutouts through the first six innings before the Expos erupted for five runs in the seventh. After a single by Ellis Valentine, double by Carter and singles by Jerry White and Larry Parrish accounted for the first two runs, Bernazard smashed his homer. Carter's clout followed in the eighth.
