Extra-Inning Win by Expos over Tigers
Raul Mondesi helped his team muscle past the Detroit Tigers, 9-8. In the game, the Montreal first baseman was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times. The win was Mike Jeffcoat's in relief. His record improves to 6-6. Danny Graves took the loss for Detroit. The first-place Expos have a one-game lead in their division.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Brian R. Hunter came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Detroit pitcher Danny Graves, he hit a 2-1 sinker for a run-scoring triple. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 9-8.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Mondesi. "And not try to do too much."
