Simply put "the professor" Greg Maddux was brilliant. 135 pitches over 8 innings and only 2 hits yielded as the big boppers from North of the Border could never get on track. Scott Sanderson was the hard luck loser for the Expos as he went the distance and gave up only 1 earned run. John Rocker came on in the 9th to notch his 3rd save of the season. The game was scoreless until the top of the 4th when Andruw Jones doubled off the left center field wall. With two outs Expo shortstop Chris Speier booted a room service hop and compounded it by airmailing it into the front row to allow Jones to score. Atlanta added an insurance run in the 6th when, Maddux himself helped his own cause by singling Jones home with 2 outs. Warren Cromartie singled to open the 9th for the Expos, but Rocker struck out 2 of the next 3 hitters to put the game away.Tuesday, June 23, 2009
