A three-run pinch-homer by Jerry White powered the Expos to a 5-4 triumph over the Pirates in Montreal's home opener. The Expos were trailing, 3-1, when Gary Carter singled leading off the the bottom of the sixth inning. Tim Wallach followed with another single before White slammed his fourth career pinch-homer over the right field wall. The Expos scored their final run in the eighth on a throwing error by Bill Madlock. [The Sporting News]
