Expos Turn Back St. Louis, 3-2
The Montreal Expos picked up a win at Stade Olympique/Hiram Bithorn Stadium, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2. Starting pitcher Carlos Valdez was an essential part of his team's success. Valdez, now 3-4, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 5, walking 3, and allowing 1 run. Chris Hernandez wrapped it up, recording his 5th save.

The Expos got a big at-bat from catcher Octavio Benavente, who in the bottom of the third hit a solo home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Expos on top, 2-0.

"That's how you're going to be successful," said Expos manager Mike A. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching."

Their 16-21 record puts the Expos 4th in the NL East Division.
