Sweeney Slugs Expos to 9-2 Win
The Montreal Expos defeated the Colorado Rockies, 9-2, in United League action at Olympic Stadium, with Montreal catcher Mike Sweeney named player of the game. Jon Lieber, who went 9 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 6 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 14-7. Colorado has now lost 4 in a row.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 3rd and two out in the bottom of the first inning. That's when first baseman Hal Morris, who is a three-time All-Star, hit a 3-run home run. The Expos went on to win.

Morris 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."
