Andre Dawson cracked a pair of solo homers and Steve Rogers spaced eight hits in going the distance for the first time in nine starts as the Expos posted a 6-2 decision over the Padres. The Expos tallied twice in the initial frame on a two-run single by Willie Montanez, and Dawson's first circuit clout made it 3-0 in the third. Dawson's second homer came in the ninth.
