It wasn't pretty, but the Expos held off the Reds in the 9th using 4 different relievers with CL Aidan Beasley needing a day off. The Reds left the bases and had a run walk in in the 9th but RHP Mark Upton got the final out via a strike out for his 1st career MLB save.

Expos SP Eric Marks was the player of the game, the 30 year old is now 6-8 with a 3.23 ERA in 16 games including 15 starts. Last year Marks was 5-4 with a 5.02 ERA in 11 starts, limited due to injury. For Marks this was his 9th quality start.

The big blow came in the bottom of the 3rd with 2 runners on when 1B Darren Maher spanked his 9th HR of the season. That gave the Expos a 3-0 lead.

Expos 3B Gene Watkins had 3 hits, all singles today. Expos LF Yue-jiu Zhou collected his 10th and 11th SB's of the year.
