Expos 7, Cubs 6
Gullickson vs Kravec
Things can really change on a dime at Wrigley. For 8 innings Bill Gullickson had a neat 4 hit shutout going, then in the 9th it almost all came crumbling down. Chicago scored 6 unanswered runs to come within 1 run of tying it. Jeff Reardon had to come in from the pen to put the fire out, which earned him his 6th save of the season. Even though he wasn't charged with allowing a run Reardon threw a wild pitch to let 1 run score and gave up a hit to Jerry Morales which allowed the 6th run to score. Ivan DeJesus flew out to center to end a game that contributed more gray hairs to Montreal's manager's head. Completely lost in all of the late drama was the 4 for 5 day that "the Hawk", Andre Dawson had. Dawson had 3 runs scored, 3 RBI's, a double and his 11th and 12th homers of the season.

Cubs 5, Expos 1
Sanderson vs Caudill
Wild Bill struck out 5, walked 1 and allowed just 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work. "Dirt" Tidrow finished up with 2 scoreless innings as the Cubbies scored solo runs in 5 straight innings to send the Expos home unhappy. Montreal starter Scott Sanderson fanned 6 in 6 innings of work, but gave up 3 runs, including solo homers to Jody Davis and Billy Bucks. Buckner hit his second homer of the game (6th on the season) off of reliever Elias Sosa in the 8th. Buckner went 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI. His "other" hit was a triple. Montreal's lone run came via the bat of Andre Dawson who hit his 13th of the season.

Expos 10, Cubs 5
Rogers vs Griffin
Montreal scored early and quite often off of Cub starter Mike Griffin. After 3 innings and 7 earned runs, Griffin was headed to the showers. Dawson once again was unstoppable with the bat going 3 for 5. His bases loaded clearing double in the 6th put the final nail in Chicago's coffin. The Cubs mounted a late inning rally, but came up way short. Steve Rogers left the game after 6 innings with a 10-1 lead. Montreal's shaky bullpen supplied the Cubs with 2 runs in the 8th and the 9th respectively. Stan Bahnsen continued to be horrific giving up 2 runs in 2 innings of relief. His ERA now stands at an even 12.00. Tim "Eli" Wallach went 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored to move his average up to .298. Buckner went 2 for 5 to boost his average to .325.
