The Pirates blanked the Expos, 7-0, behind the combined six-hit pitching of John Candelaria and Kent Tekulve. The scoring began in the sixth inning when Omar Moreno hit a homer.

The Pirates added two runs in the seventh on a single by Phil Garner, double by Steve Brye and single by Duffy Dyer. Rennie Stennett hit the first grand slam homer of his career in the ninth to complete the scoring. [The Sporting News]
