'94 Expos take 3 of 4 from '02 Redbirds

GAME 1: The Expo offense announced to the league that they are going to score early and often as Cardinal starter Matt Morris gave up 4 (3 earned) in 6 innings of work. Ken Hill, a former Cardinal himself, threw 7 scoreless innings and was removed once the his team was up 9-0. Gabe White finished out the final 2 innings throwing strikes and yielding 3 runs. Moises Alou went 3 for 4 with a homer and 3 RBI's. Hill was a star with the bat as well going 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored.

GAME 2: Montreal pounded the Cards 12-4 as the home town crowd at Busch almost booed for the first time. Know for being the most loyal fans in the league, even Cardinal fans began to get disgusted with their team's lack of consistent pitching. Darryl Kyle gave up 11 runs (10 earned) in 6 poor innings of work. Expo starter Pedro Martinez notched the win with only 5 innings of non-descript work. Pedro was wild and his pitch count balooned to 129 in just 5 innings on the hill. Gil Heredia threw 3 stellar innings in relief and only yielded 1 unearned run. Jeff Shaw closed it out in a non-save situation. Alou went 3 for 4 to continue his hot hitting. Larry Walker and Cliff Floyd each had 4 RBI's. Alou, Floyd, Walker and Will Cordero each went deep in the game.

GAME 3: The first KOD game played in Montreal was a 6-5 nail biter that treated the fans to some great action. Montreal carried a 6-1 lead into the 7th only to see it slowly evaporate. Relievers Mel Rojas and John Wetteland were both shaky, but got the job done. Each yielded a run to make the score very close. Alou went 3 for 4 to keep his incredible average at .750. Jeff Fassero notched the win with 7 innings of solid work.

GAME 4: The Redbirds were able to salvage a win in the series finale in dominant fashion as the final score was 7-2 STL. Montreal starter Kirk Rueter was let down by both his defense and his ability to rise up and be clutch. Prince Albert, Pujols went 4-5 with a dinger. In a losing cause Alou again went 3 for 4 as his onslaught on Cardinal pitching continued.
