Stroking a single, double and triple and driving in two runs, .170-hitting Chris Speier paced the Expos to a 6-3 triumph over the Phillies, ending Philadelphia's four-game winning streak. The Expos scored in the fourth inning on a solo homer by Andre Dawson and in the fifth on a triple by Speier after a double by Larry Parrish.

In the sixth, Dawson reached first safely when Larry Bowa booted his grounder, took second on a wild pickoff atempt and scored on a single by Ellis Valentine. Valentine moved to second on a single by Carter and scored on a single by Speier. [The Sporting News]
