A leadoff homer by Al Oliver in the ninth inning lifted the Expos to a 4-3 decision over the Mets. The winning blast came on an 0-2 pitch by New York reliever Jesse Orosco. The Mets had tied the score at 3-3 in the sixth on a two-run single by George Foster. Jeff Reardon allowed just one hit over the final three innings to earn the victory. [The Sporting News]
