The Phillies spoiled Jim Fanning's debut as Montreal manager by beating the Expos, 10-5, as Dan Larson went the route on a five-hitter. The Phils tallied three times in the first inning on an RBI single by Keith Moreland and two-run single by Larry Bowa, and picked up another pair in the second on a two-run single by Garry Maddox.

Bake McBride hit a solo round-tripper in the fourth, Gary Matthews drilled a bases-empty homer in the eighth and Maddox capped a four-run eighth with a three-run circuit clout. Gary Carter hit two homers for Montreal and Jerry Manuel added a two-run blast. [The Sporting News]
