Helping himself by driving in two runs, Ross Grimsley became a nine-game winner, pitching the Expos to a 5-3 victory over the Giants. Grimsley got off to a shaky start in the first inning, giving up a two-run homer by Jack Clark, but Chris Speier got one run back with a round-tripper in the Expos' half. The Expos then forged ahead with three runs, two unearned, off Ed Halicki in the second.

Singles by Gary Carter and Larry Parrish around a pass to Andre Dawson loaded the bases. Grimsley hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Carter, and when Clark's throw from the outfield went wild, Dawson also crossed the plate. Dave Cash hit a sacrifice fly to score Parrish. The Giants narrowed the gap to 4-3 with a run in the sixth, but in the Expos' half, Grimsley clinched his victory with a squeeze bunt that scored Carter, who had singled and gone to third on a single by Dawson.
