New manager attached.
Game 1 Bryn Smith had a strong outing and right fielder Harold Baines blasted a homerun and had 3 RBI at Three Rivers Stadium where the streaking Montreal Expos beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 7 to 4.
Montreal had 5 runs cross the plate in the 5th inning with the help of 4 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Baines who deflated the crowd as he clubbed a three-run home run (his 13th of the season). Montreal out-hit Pittsburgh for the game, 12 hits to 8.
Smith (16-2) allowed 1 run in 7 innings, and picked up the victory. Jeff Reardon earned the save, his 31st. The loss was charged to Lee Tunnell (6-13). He pitched 4 and 2/3 innings giving up 5 hits and 5 walks.
With the win, Montreal continues their noteworthy winning streak. 'We're on quite a roll lately' said Steve Bivens. 'I just hope we can keep it going.'
Game 2 Center fielder Fred Lynn smashed 2 homeruns and Ed Lynch had a strong outing at Three Rivers Stadium where the red-hot Montreal Expos beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8 to 0.
Lynn propelled Montreal to victory. He launched a Grand Slam homerun in the 1st inning and smashed a two-run homer (his 14th of the season) in the 3rd inning. Montreal out-hit Pittsburgh for the game, 7 hits to 2.
Lynch (14-2) went 6 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Ron Mathis (3-8) absorbed the loss. He allowed Montreal 7 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings of work.
With the win, Montreal continues their noteworthy winning streak. 'I'm glad to get the win', Lynch said. 'We've got some good momentum going now.'
Game 3 Jim Winn completed the game without help from the bullpen at Three Rivers Stadium as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Montreal Expos 3 to 1.
Pittsburgh came up with the deciding runs in the 8th inning scoring 2 runs. Winn led off the inning for Pittsburgh when he drew a walk. Joe Orsulak was next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. One out later, Roy Smalley stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk. Jerry Mumphrey came up and he doubled. Pittsburgh had only 6 hits for the night.
Winn (2-3) finished the game allowing 1 run in the victory. Jay Tibbs (5-7) was the losing pitcher. With this win, Pittsburgh has a 43-66 record. They have been 7-3 lately. Montreal will hope that this loss is only a 'blip' on their recent 9-1 run - and not a start of a new trend.
Game 4 Third baseman Vance Law cracked a homer and had 2 RBI as the Montreal Expos clobbered the outmatched Pittsburgh Pirates, 12 to 0.
Joe Hesketh (10-5) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He didn't allow much, just 4 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. Offensively, Montreal was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.
Rick Rhoden (7-9) took the loss. He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in 1 and 2/3 innings.
