The season started well for the Expos.
The Expos won 1 of 3 versus the Nationals and 2 of 3 versus the Dodgers. RF Lindberg then returned from his injury as the AAA affiliate wasn't started yet for a rehab assignment. After his return, the Expos went on to sweep the Braves in three games.
The Expos then won 2 of 4 versus the Mets, 2 of 3 versus the Pirates, swept the Padres in three, won 2 of 3 versus the Cubs, and were swept in three games by the Indians to close out the month.
This all totals to a 15-10 record to start the season.
Below is an overview of the batting performances for the month:
SS Flores led the way with a fantastic first month (8 HR). CF Williams and 1B Garza also hit well.
And the pitching performances:
SP Diplan had an interesting month as he had the best FIP among my starters but an ERA over 5. SP Killough posted the best ERA of my starters, while SP Gutierrez and SP Caballero also got of to good starts. SP Dobashi struggled quite badly.
RP Sandborn, RP Takara, RP Beddingfield, and CL Burdi all had great months out of the bullpen, all posting ERAs between 2.00 and 2.50 for the month.
Next, we will see if the Expos can keep up this good start to the season...
