Chris Speier's run-scoring single in the second inning and a two-run homer by Gary Carter in the third carried the Expos to a 3-1 triumph over the Phillies for a 2-0 lead in the N.L. East Division Series. Bill Gullickson blanked the Phils on three hits through the first seven innings before needing relief help from Jeff Reardon, who earned his second save in as many days.
