Driving in three runs with a two-run homer and game-winning single, Al Oliver paced the Expos to a 5-4 decision over the Mets. After the Mets tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the ninth inning on an RBI triple by Mookie Wilson, the Expos loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the frame on a single by Rodney Scott, walk to Terry Francona and infield hit by Andre Dawson. Oliver then singled over second base to end the game. Oliver's round-tripper came in the fourth inning and tied the contest at 2-2. [The Sporting News]
