Bill Gullickson struck out 18 batters -- a record for a rookie and one short of the major league record shared by Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver -- to lead the Expos to a 4-2 triumph over the Cubs. The Expos snapped a 2-2 tie in the sixth when Rowland Office walked, reached second on an infield hit by Andre Dawson and scored when Cubs pitcher Rick Reuschel's throw to first sailed into right field. Montreal added an insurance tally in the seventh on an RBI single by Rodney Scott. [The Sporting News]
