In the first game of a doubleheader that was delayed three hours and 48 minutes at the start because of rain, Steve Rogers hurled a three-hitter as the Expos blanked the Mets, 3-0. The second game was postponed because of a curfew imposed by the Mets' travel commitments and was rescheduled to be made up at New York September 16. The Expos tallied all their runs in the seventh inning on a leadoff homer by Warren Cromartie, single by Chris Speier, walk to Rogers and triple by Ron LeFlore. [The Sporting News]
