Ellis Valentine and Gary Carter clouted homers and Ron LeFlore stole four bases for a Montreal club record as the Expos posted a 5-2 victory after losing to the Cubs, 8-4, on a grand slam by Cliff Johnson in the completion of a suspended contest. Darkness forced the halt of the game in Chicago between the Expos and Cubs on May 28 after 10 innings with the score tied, 3-3.

When play resumed, both clubs scored a run in the 12th before the Cubs loaded the bases in the 14th and Johnson ended the contest with his homer. Johnson homered again in the regularly-scheduled game, accounting for the Cubs' runs in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
