Northern Expos-ure

Braves 5, Expos 3
Carl Morton vs Clay Kirby
Former Expo Carl Morton would get his first win of the season at the expense of his former teammates.  The Braves staked Morton to a 2-0 lead thanks to some walks, a wild pitch and an RBI single from Morton himself.  Andy Thornton's 4th homer as an Expo tied the game up in the 6th and Larry Parrish's sac fly gave Montreal a short lived 1 run lead.  Larry Parrish's error on Morton's slow grounder in the 7th would prove to be Expo reliever Steve Dunning's undoing.  After fanning Jerry Royster, Dunning got Morton to hit a slow roller up the third base line that Parrish fielded and threw in the dirt past Thornton.  Rolland Office doubled home Morton and after Galbreath struck out looking the "toy cannon" Jimmy Wynn hit a 2 run shot to put the Braves up 5-3.  All 3 runs in the inning were unearned, but they still counted on the scoreboard.  Elias Sosa would pitch 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief and Adrian Devine would get his 5th save with a perfect 9th.
