A six-run rally in the sixth inning carried the Expos to a 7-1 triumph over the Pirates behind the three-hit pitching of Steve Rogers. Pittsburgh errors contributed heavily to the outburst. Rodney Scott led off with a walk, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a two-base error by third baseman Bill Madlock in handling a grounder by Andre Dawson.
