Taking advantage of unusual wildness by New York's Randy Jones, the Expos defeated the Mets, 4-2. Montreal scored twice in the second inning when Jones walked opposition pitcher Steve Rogers with the bases loaded. Then he proceeded to uncork a wild pitch to give the Expos a 2-0 advantage. Warren Cromartie hit a two-run homer in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
