Bill Gullickson and Woodie Fryman combined to pitch the Expos to a 2-0 blanking of the Astros. Terry Francona cracked a two-out double in the sixth inning and scored when first baseman Denny Walling made an errant throw to pitcher Bob Knepper at first base on Andre Dawson's grounder. Dawson reached second on the play and came in on a single by Al Oliver. [The Sporting News]
