Offseason

Spring training

The Expos held spring training at West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida – a facility they shared with the Atlanta Braves. It was their 10th season at the stadium; they had conducted spring training there from 1969 to 1972 and since 1981.

Regular season
  • July 6, 1986: In an 11-8 loss to the Expos, Bob Horner of the Atlanta Braves hit four home runs in one game. Horner became the second player in the 20th century (Gil Hodges was the first in 1950) to hit four home runs in one game in his home park.[13] He became the first player since Ed Delahanty to hit four home runs in a losing game.[13]
