Newly acquired in a deal with the Cubs, Andre Thornton turned on his former teammates and smashed a two-run homer to help the Expos gain a 3-0 victory. Thornton, making his debut with the Expos, appeared in right field for the first time since 1973, when he was in the minors. His homer came in the fifth inning and the Expos then added their last run in the eighth on a single by Thornton, forceout by Larry Parrish, a stolen base and single by Tim Foli.
