Blasting off with five runs in their first turn at bat, the Expos thumped the Mets, 7-3. Three errors by the Mets contributed to the big inning. The first run came in on a sacrifice fly by Andre Dawson, the second on a double by Larry Parrish and the third on a misplay by shortstop Frank Taveras before Warren Cromartie climaxed the inning with a two-run homer. The Mets tied a club record with six errors in the game. [The Sporting News]
