Pedro Guerrero's leadoff homer in the ninth inning propelled the Dodgers to a 3-2 decision over the Expos, enabling Fernando Valenzuela to win his eighth game without a defeat. Valenzuela, pitching before a crowd of 53,906 -- the largest at Dodger Stadium in seven years -- yielded his first home run in the majors when Chris Speier connected in the third. Andre Dawson hit his eighth homer of the season in the ninth to tie the score, 2-2. [The Sporting News]
