Striking out 13 batters and permitting just three hits, Bill Gullickson hurled the Expos to a 4-0 blanking of the Cubs. The Expos scored three runs in their first turn at bat, kayoing Cubs starter Mike Griffin after two-thirds of an inning as Larry Parrish, Tim Wallach and Chris Speier delivered run-scoring singles.
