Expos Slap 5-2 Loss on Braves
Montreal pitcher Jon Garland did his part in helping his team beat the Atlanta Braves, 5-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Picking up the save was Drew Hall. He's now 33 for 35 in save chances. The win elevated the Expos to 87-71.

Montreal used the bat of Bobby Higginson to get the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Expos ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Garland said.
