The Cubs staged a four-run rally in the eighth to come from behind and beat the Expos, 6-3. Jose Cardenal began the inning with a walk. Bill Madlock singled Cardenal to third and Rick Monday doubled to score Cardenal and tie the game. Jerry Morales then put the Cubs ahead with a two-run single to center. The fourth run came home as second baseman Larry Lintz fumbled Manny Trillo's grounder.

The Expos had taken a 2-1 lead in the fourth on Gary Carter's single, a sacrifice and Barry Foote's single. Montreal added their third run in the seventh on singles by Dave McNally and Tim Foli and an infield out. A pinch-double by Ron Dunn produced a Cub run in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
