The Montreal Expos handed the Colorado Rockies a sound defeat, 22-1, at Olympic Stadium. Raul Mondesi was a main contributor to the win. He went 4-6 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5 for Montreal. Mark Guthrie got the win, improving to 18-10. He worked 9 innings, giving up 1 run on 7 hits, while striking out 9 and walking 3. Montreal has now won 3 straight, while the Rockies have lost 3 in a row.

Gregg Jefferies was a prime contributor to the Montreal win. He was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. In the bottom of the sixth with two out, the 1995 UL batting champion hit a 3-run home run. It made the score 18-1, in favor of the Expos.

Jefferies said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
