The Expos regained first place in the East Division by defeating the Phillies, 8-3, as Gary Carter led the attack with two homers, a double and four runs batted in and Chris Speier contributed a two-run triple. Carter drilled a solo homer in second.

After a sacrifice fly by Rowland Office broke a 1-1 tie in the third, Speier's three-bagger and a single by Steve Rogers produced three runs in the sixth. Carter followed Andre Dawson's two-out infield hit in the seventh with his second round-tripper of the game and drove in his fourth run with a ninth-inning double. [The Sporting News]
