Pinch-hitter Jerry White greeted Tug McGraw by slugging the Philadelphia reliever's first pitch over the left field wall for a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Expos held off a two-run ninth-inning rally for a 9-8 decision over the Phillies. A walk to Larry Parrish and double by Chris Speier set the stage for White's game-winning clout. [The Sporting News]
