Pushing across a run in the seventh inning, the Expos edged the Phillies, 5-4. The game was deadlocked at 4-4 when Larry Parrish singled, reached second on a walk to pinch-hitter John Milner and scored on Tim Raines' single. The Expos scored four times in the fourth frame, with Parrish's two-run homer the key blow. [The Sporting News]
