Pushing across a run in the seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie, the Mets edged the Expos, 2-1. The winning run was keyed by a one-out pinch-single by Rusty Staub -- his 2,600th career hit -- that sent Tom Veryzer to third, from where he scored on a sacrifice fly by Mookie Wilson. Wilson scored the Mets' first run in the opening inning when he singled, stole second, reached third on catcher Gary Carter's throwing error and came in on a single by Bob Bailor.
