The Expos ended their four-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Pirates. A double by Ellis Valentine scored Dave Cash, who had singled, and Gary Carter, who had walked, in the first inning. Chris Speier stroked an RBI single in the fifth and the Expos added two more tallies in the eighth on Tony Perez' double and Warren Cromartie's single.

Steve Rogers pitched no-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings but weakened in the eighth and was replaced by Darold Knowles, who earned his second save of the season. [The Sporting News]
