The Expos slipped out of first place in the East division behind the Pirates when they lost the first game of a doubleheader to the Mets, 4-2, although coming back to win the second game, 7-3. The score was 2-2 in the seventh inning of the opener when Jose Cardenal cracked a homer to put the Mets ahead, 3-2. A single by Frank Taveras and double by Willie Montanez added an insurance tally in the same stanza.
