Arizona Win Evens Series at 2
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Montreal Expos, 7-5 in Game 4 of the Division Series today. Earning player of the game honors was center fielder Keith A. Miller, who went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs. The win moves Arizona into a 2-2 tie with Montreal in the series.

It could have been a different outcome for Arizona, had it not been for Carlos Baerga, the 27-year old first baseman . Baerga contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Arizona up, 4-2.

"We lost," Montreal manager David Polakoff said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

Game 5 is set to be played tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Scott Karl for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Pedro Martinez for the the Montreal Expos.
