Charlie Lea and Jeff Reardon combined on a two-hitter as the Expos recorded their sixth straight victory, 4-0 over the Astros in 10 innings. Lea retired 26 straight Houston batters. Montreal broke the 0-0 deadlock in the top of the 10th. Three walks loaded the bases and a sacrifice fly by Tim Raines produced the first run. Tim Wallach then slammed a three-run pinch-homer to ice the contest. [The Sporting News]
