A two-run single by Glenn Hubbard in the eighth inning was the decisive blow as the Braves downed the Expos, 7-5. Jeff Burroughs began the stanza with a single and reached second on an error by left fielder Ron LeFlore. After pinch-hitter Biff Pocoroba walked, Bruce Benedict moved the runners up with a sacrifice.
