The Expos lost to the Mets, 7-5, suffering the seventh defeat in their last 10 contests, but still retained a first-place lead over the Phillies in the East Division. Steve Henderson smashed a two-run homer for the Mets in the second inning and added an RBI with a single when the Mets scored twice in the third. [The Sporting News]
