Gary Carter, who had homered earlier in the game, rapped a run-scoring single in the 11th inning to give the Expos a 5-4 victory over the Astros. With one out, Ellis Valentine singled and raced to third on a wild pitch by Dave Smith. Warren Cromartie, who was stopped on his 18-game batting streak, was handed an intentional pass before Carter came through with the winning hit. [The Sporting News]
