A four-run outburst in the eighth inning carried the Expos to a 10-8 triumph over the Cubs. The Expos trailed, 8-6, going into the eighth when Warren Cromartie opened with a double off Dave Roberts and scored on a double by Gary Carter off reliever Manny Seoane.

Larry Parrish then reached first safely on Manny Trillo's error. Chris Speier stroked a single off reliever Bruce Sutter to tie the score at 8-8 as Parrish was out attempting to go to third. A double by Dave Cash plated Speier and a single by Sam Mejias drove home Cash. [The Sporting News]
