Cubs Lose By a Run at Montreal
The Montreal Expos knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, at Olympic Stadium 1977-2004. Maikel Franco was a big reason Montreal won. The third baseman went 3-4 with 2 home runs. Montreal has a record of 41-51, placing them third in the NL East Division.

The Expos got a big at-bat from catcher Salvador Perez. For the game, Perez was 1 for 4 with a home run. In the bottom of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 13th home run of the season gave Montreal a 3-2 lead.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Chicago manager Irish Turner said, following the tough loss.
