A three-run outburst in the sixth inning carried the Expos to a 4-3 decision over the Mets. The Expos trailed, 2-1, going into the sixth, but tied the score on singles by Ellis Valentine and Tony Perez and a sacrifice fly by Warren Cromartie. Gary Carter then followed with his 18th homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
