With Elliott Maddox driving in three runs to back the six-hit pitching of Nino Espinosa, the Mets defeated the Expos, 7-2. Maddox singled in a run in the first inning after Lenny Randle led off the game with a double and Bobby Valentine singled. Willie Montanez' sacrifice fly scored Valentine. After the bases were loaded in the fifth on a double by Espinosa, pass to Randle and single by Valentine, Maddox smashed a two-run double. [The Sporting News]
