Expos Slip Past Arizona, 4-3
The Montreal Expos defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-3, in United League action at Olympic Stadium, with Montreal pitcher Chris Nabholz named player of the game. Montreal reliever Mike Jeffcoat picked up the win, upping his record to 9-7. Eddie Guardado was saddled with the loss. The first-place Expos, at 83-46, now lead their division by 8 games.

Leo Gomez had a productive at-bat for the Expos with one out in the bottom of the tenth. With the bases empty, the third baseman hit a walk-off solo home run. The at-bat was important in the Montreal win.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Nabholz.
