A grand slam by Andre Dawson highlighted a six-run seventh inning that lifted the Expos to a 7-2 victory over the Pirates. The big inning began with one out when Larry Parrish and Mike Phillips singled. Steve Rogers, attempting to bunt, hit into a forceout. Tim Raines doubled home Phillips and Rodney Scott walked to load the bases.

Victor Cruz relieved Luis Tiant on the hill for the Pirates and Dawson hit the first pitch for his first career grand slam. Gary Carter hit the next pitch for another round-tripper. Immediately after the game, Cruz was sent to the minor leagues. [The Sporting News]
