Expos 5, Padres 0
Don Stanhouse vs Brent Strom
In a series that featured two teams that were going nowhere fast the Expos fired the opening salvo thanks to Don Stanhouse's 5 hit shutout. Stanhouse, who has shocked even his greatest supporters with a 5-1 start looked sharp from the beginning. Tim Foli's RBI single in the 3rd gave Stanhouse a 1-0 lead, which he would nurse until his offense unloaded on reliever Rich Folkers for 4 runs in the 6th. After Bombo River's lead off single, Foli executed the hit and run to perfection with a run scoring double. Ron Roenicke's seeing eye single scored Foli to make it 3-0 and Barry Foote put the game out of reach with a 2 run shot to end all the scoring. Foli's 3 for 4 day would make him the hitting star. San Diego would not have a runner advance past second all day and only threatened in the 4th when Willie McCovey led off with a double, only to be stranded where he started.
