The Giants prevailed over the Expos, 4-3, despite four stolen bases by Montreal rookie Tim Raines. The Giants broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning on a run-scoring single by Johnnie LeMaster, and scored twice in the seventh stanza on singles by Joe Morgan, Milt May and LeMaster, an RBI fielder's choice grounder by pinch-hitter Jim Wohlford and a single by Bill North.
