Expos Bang Out 6-3 Win Versus Seattle
Montreal pitcher Jon Lieber did his part in helping his team beat the Seattle Pilots, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Lieber picked up the win for Montreal, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 9 hits. He now sports a record of 12-8. Montreal improves to 86-47 with the win. They lead their division by 8½ games.

It could have been a different outcome for Montreal, had it not been for Brian R. Hunter, the 29-year old center fielder . Hunter contributed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put Montreal up, 2-0.

Lieber attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
