The Expos sent Gustavo Hernandez to the mound to try to close out the Division Series, and after a rough start giving up two runs in the top of the first Hernandez settled down and pitched six innings, allowing just the 2 runs on 4 hits, walking 3 and striking out 7.
The Expos had trouble scoring until the bottom of the fourth when Jorge Flores singled and Matt Smalls homered to tie the game at 2. Two batters later a solo home run by Juan Ordonez gave the Expos our first lead of the game.
In the bottom of the fifth the Expos would go up 5-3 after a double by Ben Anderson and two run homer by Jorge Flores. With the lead we turned the ball over to Roberto Martinez for two hitless innings and Alex Ball to close out the ninth. The Expos added a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh and bottom of the eighth to make it a 9-2 win and the Expos will head to the National League Championship Series.
