In a see-saw contest, the Expos finally prevailed over the Phillies, 7-6, by pushing across a run in the ninth inning. The game was tied, 6-6, going into the bottom of the ninth, when Andre Dawson led off with a base on balls. After Ellis Valentine struck out, Dawson moved to second on a single by Larry Parrish and reached third when center fielder Garry Maddox bobbled the ball. Gary Carter followed with a sacrifice fly that plated Dawson. [The Sporting News]
