Montreal Makes It 8 Straight with 3-2 Win
The Montreal Expos got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Kent Mercker, but it was good enough for the club to take a 3-2 decision over the Colorado Rockies. Montreal reliever Mike Jeffcoat was credited with the win, to go to 3-0. Bob Ojeda took the loss for Colorado. The first-place Expos have won 8 straight.

The Expos got a big at-bat from right fielder Raul Mondesi, who in the top of the eighth hit a run-scoring single. It was his 41st hit of the season and put the Expos on top, 1-0.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Mercker told the Montreal Observer.
