The Montreal Expos (16-19) will try to recover from a marathon 20 inning game last night that went till nearly 3am when the face the Pittsburgh Pirates (17-17) Expos SP LHP Jordan Hall pitched 3 days ago but because the Expos needed innings from Eric Marks and Jamari Taft, they are not available to start. The 27 year old Hall is 2-1 with a 3.56 ERA in 7 starts this season. The Pirates on the other hand go with well rested RHP Mario Romero, the 34 year old former Expos is now 2-2 with a 2.72 ERA in 7 starts. The Expos are 3-1 against the Pirates this season.

The Expos toppled the Pirates 6-2 in NL action at PNC Park. The player of the game was CF Tyrell Triche. The 4th place Expos are now 17-19.

Triche is now hitting .282 with 1 HR and 6 RBIs in 22 games this year. The 25 year old was originally drafted by the Phillies in the 2nd round, 52nd overall pick in the 1972 MLB draft. The Phillies traded Triche to the Expos along with RF Luis Sanchez in July 1977.

The results may have different if not for Raul Rodriquez. The RF produced a run scoring single in the top of the 2nd that but the Expos up 2-0. Rodriquez had a double and a single in 5 at bats.

Expos got a gutzy, albeit short effort from SP Jordan Hall while RP Will Gibson picked up the win to go to 2-1. The Expos pitching staff will get a much needed day off after the 3rd game of this series.
