Expos Stumble, Lose to Senators
Behind a solid performance from left fielder Albert Belle, the Washington Senators defeated the Montreal Expos, 10-4. Belle hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Senators. The winner was Kevin Millwood, who threw 102 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits. The Senators bumped their record to 94-59 with this latest triumph.

A decisive at-bat came in the bottom of the third inning. With the bases empty, the batter, Vladimir Guerrero, hit a solo home run. It made the score 4-3, Washington, and helped them go on to win.

"It was a solid team effort," said Guerrero after the game.
