One-hit pitching by Bruce Berenyi enabled the Reds to beat the Expos, 2-0, completing the three-game series sweep. The lone hit off Berenyi was a two-out single by Andre Dawson in the fourth inning.

Joe Nolan belted a solo homer in the second inning and the Reds got their other run in the the third when Dave Collins doubled, took third on a wild pickoff attempt by Ray Burris and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ron Oester. [The Sporting News]
