The Montreal Expos topped the Toronto Blue Jays by the score of 5-3 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the Division Series today. The largest share of the credit went to player of the game and Montreal starter Mark Guthrie, who threw 8 innings of 7-hit ball in the win.

In the bottom of the fourth, Montreal catcher Mike Sweeney had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Sweeney stroked a 2-run double to left-center. It made the score 5-1, Montreal. For the game, he went 1-3 with a double, while adding 2 RBI.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Sweeney.

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday. Slated to start are Jon Lieber for Montreal and Scott Garrelts for Toronto.
