Pushing across a run in the 17th inning, the Expos edged the Phillies, 1-0. Rodney Scott stroked a one-out single in the bottom of the 17th and Warren Cromartie and Jerry White drew walks to load the bases. Andre Dawson then hit a grounder to third baseman Mike Schmidt, but his throw to the plate on an attempted forceout was too late to get Scott. Winning pitcher Bryn Smith earned his first major league decision.

Phils starter Steve Carlton notched 12 strikeouts to raise his career total to 3,128, breaking Bob Gibson's all-time N.L. record. [The Sporting News]
