'94 Expos defeat '86 Astros in 4

The Expos finished the season tied w/Philly for the best record in the league, so they had to settle for the #1 wild card slot and a trip to the 8th wonder of the world, the Houston Astrodome. As a reward for their 3,500 mile trip the Expos got destroyed by the Astro offense. Every Astro starter had at least 1 hit except Billy Hatcher who walked 3 times. Houston starter Mike Scott was lights out and only gave up 3 runs in a complete game effort. Scott also banged out 4 hits and had 3 RBI. A truly awesome performance by the 1986 NL Cy Young award winner.In a battle of two southpaws Jeff Fassero bested Bob Knepper 5-2. Fassero went 7+ innings before yielding to the awesome bullpen duo of Mel Rojas and John Wetteland. Larry Walker had 3 hits and 2 Rib-eyes as the Expos evened the series 1-1.Game 3 saw Olympque Stadie host it's first ever KOD post season game. The Expos knocked future HOF'er Nolan Ryan out of the box with 5 runs in 4 innings. Ken "King of the" Hill had a super quality start going 6 and yielding only 2. Gabe White came in out of the pen to strike out Jose Cruz and end Houston's chances of a rally. Montreal went with the lefty / lefty matchup and it all worked out. Wetteland saved his second of the series. Kevin Bass had 3 hits in a losing effort.With Montreal up 2 games to 1 Pedro Martinez took the hill with the goal of closing out the Astros. As we all know the close out game is always the toughest in the series. Houston jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first and had Pedro on the ropes, but he managed to get out of it and throw shutou ball for the next 5 innings before he yielded to Shaw, White and Wetteland. Montreal never panicked in this one. Down 3 zip the chipped away at Jim Deshaises and got 1 run in each of the first 3 innings to tie the game. The bottom of the 6th saw the 'Spos score 3 runs off of reliever Charlie Kerfeld. Larry Walker and Wil Cordero each had big RBI hits. Things looked good until the top of the 9th. Montreal felt like they had money in the bank up by 3 and John Wetteland on the hill, but Houston was not about to lay down and go quietly into the night. With 2 out and a man on Kevin Bass hit a 2 run shot to put a scare into the French speaking crowd. Wetteland dug down deep and got Glen Davis to line out hard to Sean Berry to end the series.
