Ellis Valentine hit a three-run double in the second inning and Chris Speier smacked a three-run triple in the ninth as the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 10-4, with Scott Sanderson pitching his first complete game of the season. In an effort to snap out of their losing ways, the Cards summoned Jim Kaat from the bullpen for his first start of the season, but the vet lefthander was tagged for six runs in four innings, including homers by Andre Dawson and Gary Carter.

The victory was costly for the Expos. Valentine was hit in the face by a pitch thrown by Roy Thomas in the sixth inning and suffered multiple fractures of his cheekbone, putting him on the disabled list. [The Sporting News]
