Gary Carter clouted two homers, including a grand slam in a six-run first inning, to power the Expos to an 8-6 victory over the Braves. Andre Dawson and Ellis Valentine contributed RBI singles before Carter's grand slam. His second round-tripper came with a mate aboard in the seventh. The Braves connected for five circuit clouts, by Glenn Hubbard, Biff Pocoroba, Chris Chambliss, Jeff Burroughs and Bob Horner. [The Sporting News]
