Cardinals Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Expos, 3-2
The St. Louis Cardinals earned a win at Olympic Stadium, stopping the Montreal Expos, 3-2. Starting pitcher Livan Hernandez played a big role in his team's success. St. Louis reliever Randy Wolf picked up the win, while Harry Michael took the loss for Montreal. The win gives St. Louis a record of 11-10.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Quilvio Veras? The speedster Veras stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put St. Louis up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We hit some balls hard and didn't get rewarded for it," said Montreal manager Brandon Tucker.
