Scott Sanderson and Woodie Fryman combined on a six-hitter to shut out the Astros, 3-0. The Expos took the lead against Nolan Ryan in the first inning when Ron LeFlore walked, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and came home on an infield out by Rodney Scott. Other runs followed in the second --one on an infield hit by Ken Macha and the other while a double play was being made. [The Sporting News]
