Rick Rhoden raised his record to 6-0 in pitching the Pirates to a 3-2 triumph over the Expos. The Bucs scored all their runs in the third inning as Dale Berra singled, stole second and tallied on a single by Omar Moreno, who reached second when left fielder Tim Raines erred on the hit [sic], and advanced to third on pitcher Bill Gullickson's wild pickoff attempt. After Phil Garner walked, Dave Parker delivered both runners with a double. [The Sporting News]
