Jorge Roque hit the first grand slam of his major league career to power the Expos to a 5-3 victory over the Phillles. Jim Lonborg, starting for the Phillies, hit Ron Hunt with a pitch to open the game and, with two out, walked Ron Fairly and Ken Singleton to load the bases for Roque's slam. Coco Laboy followed with a solo swat to cap the Expos scoring. [The Sporting News]
