Andre Dawson and Tony Perez clouted back-to-back homers in a six-run second inning outburst which carried the Expos to an 8-3 triumph over the Giants. Rodney Scott singled home two runs in the big second inning before Dawson connected on a three-run homer and Perez launched a solo shot. Larry Parrish belted a two-run homer in the eighth.
