A double by Rowland Office in the ninth inning drove in the winning run as the Expos shaded the Braves, 3-2. After the Braves tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the ninth, Ron LeFlore and Rodney Scott drew one-out walks in the Expos' half before Office delivered the game-winning blow against his old team.
