Despite having a grand slam by Gary Carter, the Expos lost to the Cardinals, who gained a 9-8 victory when George Hendrick batted in two runs with a double in the ninth inning. Carter's clout in the seventh inning sent the Expos ahead, 7-2, but the Cards rallied for five runs to tie the score in their half.

After the Expos regained the lead with a sacrifice fly by Ellis Valentine in the ninth, Keith Hernandez and Ted Simmons singled in the Cards' half and Hernandez and pinch-runner Bobby Bonds raced home on Hendrick's game-winning double. [The Sporting News]
