MON catcher Ron Karkovice figured prominently in the outcome of the series opener, and today both teams' backstops did.  The Atlanta stadium's well-earned moniker of "The Launching Pad" often came into play as well.
 
Tommy Greene and Tom Glavine took the mound for their respective clubs, and today nobody bothered flirting with a no-hitter.  After both teams LOBbed a runner in the first, the scoring began when Montreal's Larry Walker walloped the contest's first home run with Carlos Baerga on base in the 2nd.
 
The response from the Braves came immediately, as the first two batters in the bottom of the inning got aboard, and light-hitting catcher Charlie O'Brien surprised and delighted the home crowd with a 3-run homer off of Greene.  Glavine followed the O'Brien blast with a single but was out at the plate when he tried to score from second on Jeff Blauser's 1-out single and Karkovice came up with a successful plate block to keep the margin at one run.
 
Glavine had been getting the ball up on the MON hitters in the second, but reverted to form and retired 5 straight Expos on groundouts before getting into a minor jam in the 4th, but escaping without damage when he fanned Karkovice with 2 on base to end the threat.
 
But he got another pitch up and out of the strike zone to Andujar Cedeno, who hit it up and out of the ballpark in the MON 5th and the game was tied at 3.  Karkovice again came up with 2 on and 2 out an inning later and missed a split card single, lining out to Terry Pendleton.  Eddie Murray put the Braves back on top by a run with a home run leading off the 6th.
 
The decisive rally, however, came in the ATN 7th, and Karkovice had a hand (or mitt) in that too.  Blauser fought Greene for a walk and Roberto Kelly lofted a foul popup behind home plate -- which Karko muffed.  Reprieved, Kelly doubled Blauser to third where he scored on Dave Justice's sac fly to give the home team a 4-3 lead.  With 2 outs, Ron Gant singled Kelly home with the second unearned run of the frame.  Greene's day thus came to an end and Mel Rojas required just 1 pitch to end the inning.
 
Down by 3 now, the Expos offense responded with 3 singles in the 8th, the last of which delivered a run and dispatched Glavine from the game.  Lefty reliever Rick Honeycutt took over to face a pair of backwards righties, getting Sean Berry to line out and getting Karkovice -- for the third time today -- to end an inning with 2 runners on base.
 
As in yesterday's contest, today's trailing team rallied in the 9th inning due solely to the efforts of the leading team.  Honeycutt walked Darren Lewis on 4 pitches with 1 out, then with 2 outs Honeycutt fumbled a Marquis Grissom tapper and all runners were safe.  Jeff Bagwell stepped in representing the go-ahead run but could only manage an easy roller to Blauser, who flipped to Doug Strange at second base to record the game-ending forceout.  Final score: 6-4.
 
After an off day, the series moves north of the border where the starters are expected to be John Smoltz and Dennis Martinez, who recently received a new lucrative contract extension from MON management.
