Expos Deal Pirates 7-2 Defeat
Dave Schuler, who is tied for 7th in the NL in quality starts with 16, had a strong outing for the Montreal Expos against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 7-2 win. Schuler yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 9-7. Montreal raised its record to 61-56 with the win.

Montreal used a well-timed hit by Joe Lefebvre to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Expos ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We had a nice day," said Montreal skipper Joe Black.
