The Expos exploded for 10 runs in the seventh inning for the biggest single outburst in their club's history to overwhelm the Cubs, 12-6. With the Cubs leading, 4-2, the Expos opened the stanza by loading the bases on two errors by Don Kessinger around a single by Pepe Mangual.

Mike Jorgensen singled, driving in two runs, and Jose Morales tripled to plate another pair. After a single by Pete Mackanin scored Morales, singles by Gary Carter, Larry Parrish and Pat Scanlon added two runs before Mangual climaxed the spree with a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
