The Expos and Braves divided a twin bill, the Expos winning the first game, 5-4, and the Braves capturing the nightcap, 9-1. A five-run sixth inning was decisive in the opener. Andre Dawson led off that frame by reachng second on an error by Atlanta third baseman Bob Horner and scored on a single by Gary Carter. After Warren Cromartie singled, John Milner blasted a three-run homer to give the Expos a 4-3 lead. A sacrifice fly by Rodney Scott later in the inning scored the final run.
