Mark Guthrie pitched a gem to lead Montreal to a 4-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The Expos own a robust 104-53 mark.

A key at-bat came in the top of the fifth inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd, the batter, Gregg Jefferies, hit a run-scoring single. It made the score 1-0, Montreal, and helped them go on to win.

Guthrie called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
