In what looks to be the making of a Cy Young season Bill "the spaceman" Lee survived not having his best stuff to notch his 6th win of the season against zero defeats. By giving up 2 runs in 7 innings of work Lee saw his ERA "balloon" to 0.94 ! Stan Bahnsen came on to toss 2 scoreless innings in relief as the outcome really wasn't much in doubt. Brave starter Dennis "El Presidente" Martinez was tossing shutout ball and had a 1 run lead going into the 4th when he allowed 3 runs in successive innings before heading to the showers. By that point the Expos had a nice 6-1 lead. Cromartie had his second consecutive 3 hit game against the Braves, this time from the lead off spot. Every Expo starter except for 8th place hitter Chris Speier scored a run. Speier more than made up for it by knocking in 3 runs with 2 outs. Montreal clawed its way back into the pennant race and is now 1 game behind the first place Pirates with a huge 4 games set looming large for both teams on the horizon.
