Braves 2, Expos 0
Dan Warthen vs Phil Niekro

Dangerous Dan Warthen walked 6 batters in almost 5 innings of  work and luckily gave up just 2 solo runs.  The bad news was that once again the Expos couldn't muster up much offense.  Future HOF'er Phil Niekro's knuckleball confounded a normally absent offense even further.  Niekro exited after 7 2/3 innings of 3 hit shutout ball and Adrian Devine closed out the final 4 outs.  Montreal had runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out in the 9th, but Devine was able to get Pete Mackanin to ground into a picture perfect 6-4-3 DP to end it.
