Omar Moreno stole home in game 3. First time I have seen that in a SMILEY game.
Game 1 In a thriller the Montreal Expos staged a dramatic comeback then held on to win over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9 to 4 at THREE RIVERS STADIUM.
Montreal won the game with a rally in the top of the 9th inning scoring 6 runners on 6 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Andre Dawson who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he doubled clearing the bases. Montreal finished with 12 hits in the victory.
Larry Christenson (3-1) got the win allowing no runs in 2 innings. Kent Tekulve (1-2) suffered the loss in relief. 'We just kept swinging the bats and didn't give up,' Mike Schmidt said. 'If you just keep trying good things can happen!'
Game 2 Andre Dawson had 4 hits and 4 RBI as the Montreal Expos defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 6 to 2 at THREE RIVERS STADIUM.
Dawson had a big day against Pittsburgh . He stroked a base-hit in the 3rd inning, lofted a three-run bomb (his 24th of the season) in the 5th inning, laced a single in the 7th inning and stroked a one-base hit which scored a run in the 9th inning. Montreal banged out 11 on the night.
Scott Sanderson (7-3) went 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Jeff Reardon was credited with his 18th save. The loss was charged to Bob Walk (2-3). He was not very effective, surrendering 5 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.
Game 3 Bert Blyleven completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Montreal Expos by a score of 4 to 3.
Pittsburgh scored the deciding run in the 8th inning. After an out was recorded, Mike Easler banged out a single. One out later, Keith Moreland stepped in and he laced a base-hit scoring the run. Montreal threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
The win went to Blyleven (13-4) who allowed 3 runs in the game. Larry Christenson (3-2) was tagged with the loss in relief. 'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Steve Bivens 'but it's losing the close ones that really hurt.'
Game 4 Keith Moreland had 3 base hits at THREE RIVERS STADIUM where the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Montreal Expos by the score of 5 to 1.
Rick Rhoden (5-8) delivered a fine performance for Pittsburgh . He went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 6 hits and 2 walks. Overall Pittsburgh out-hit Montreal 15 to 7.
Bob Long recorded his 1st save. Steve Rogers (10-4) was hit with the loss. He gave up 5 runs and 13 hits in 6 and 1/3 innings. |
