Taking advantage of Montreal errors, the Braves posted a 2-1 triumph over the Expos. Bruce Benedict led off the Braves' sixth inning with an infield hit and reached second on a throwing error by Expos third baseman Larry Parrish. Rafael Ramirez followed with an RBI single and when center fielder Andre Dawson misplayed the ball, Ramirez wound up on third. One out later, Brett Butler delivered a run-scoring grounder.
