Posting his first shutout since 1976, Woodie Fryman pitched the Expos to a 8-0 victory over the Astros. Tony Perez knocked in two of the Expos' first three runs with a double in the first inning. Andre Dawson homered in the third to ignite a four-run outburst and also accounted for the Expos' last run with a triple in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
