Craig Swan allowed only three hits, all singles, and pitched the Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Expos. The Mets scored their first run off Steve Rogers in the third inning on doubles by Joel Youngblood and Lee Mazzilli.

The Expos tied the score in the fourth when Rodney Scott singled, stole second, advanced to third on an infield out and came home on a sacrifice fly by Ellis Valentine. Rogers hit Mazzilli with a pitch in the fifth, leading to the Mets' winning run. Mazzilli stole second, took third on a flyout by Mike Jorgensen and scored on a single by Steve Henderson.
