Eric Laws was making the start in Game 1 for the Expos, and for four innings Laws was rolling along dominating, until the fifth inning. A grand slam by Albert Wilcox and a solo home run by Yakumo Sato ended his night after 4 2/3 innings, and put us in a 5-0 hole.
Our bullpen would do our job to limit the damage to just the 5 runs with Jesus Franco pitching a 1/3 of an inning, Ralph Hudson pitching two innings, Roberto Martinez pitching an inning, and Bill Olson pitching the ninth.
While the Expos pounded out ten hits we only managed a pair of runs, one from an RBI double by Howard McDonald and Jorge Flores picking up an RBI single. The Phillies take a 1-0 series lead.
