Three home runs powered the Expos to a 4-2 triumph over the Dodgers. Andre Dawson hit a solo blast in fourth inning, Warren Cromartie broke a 2-2 tie with a bases-empty round-tripper in the sixth stanza and Gary Carter added an insurance marker in the eighth frame with a circuit smash. Ross Grimsley went the route for the 14th time in picking up his 15th win of the campaign. [The Sporting News]
