Ellis Valentine and Andre Dawson each smashed a bases-loaded triple to power the Expos to a 7-2 victory over the Reds and snap Tom Seaver's 11-game winning streak. In the first inning, Warren Cromartie singled. With two out, Rusty Staub also singled. Seaver uncorked a wild pitch, allowing both runners to advance, and then passed Gary Carter to load the bases before Valentine came to the plate and hit his triple.
