After tying the score twice with homers by Joe Ferguson and Steve Garvey, the Dodgers came from behind in the 11th inning with another homer by Davey Lopes and a run-scoring single by Dusty Baker to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Ferguson hit his homer in the fifth and Garvey sent the game into overtime with a drive in the ninth.

Andre Dawson put the Expos ahead with a circuit clout in the 11th, but Lopes' smash in the Dodgers' half knotted the count again. After a forceout of Gary Thomasson by Garvey and an intentional pass to Ron Cey that loaded the bases, Baker came through with his winning single. [The Sporting News]
