The Montreal Expos (46-39) take their 8-game winning streak on the road to the Philadelphia Phillies (31-54). The Expos are 3-3 with the Phillies this year. Montreal will send LHP Jordan Hall to the hill, the 27 year old is 6-3 with a 3.32 ERA in 18 starts. Hall has been a pleasant surprise for the Expos and is part of the NL East's lowest starters ERA. The Phillies will counter with LHP Jim Graham, the 25 year old is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in just 3 starts this year. Graham has seen limited action this year due to a series of injuries.

The Expos did not get the offense they hoped for, but they certainly took advantage of the Phillies fielding woes in the top of the 3rd when they scored 2 runs on 2 hits with 2 Phillie errors and the Expos left the bases loaded. The Expos runs were all scored without a RBI credited by a hit. (2 walks, 1 HBP and an error)

C Mark Inge came into the game in the 8th as a defensive sub, and became the player of the game with his 2-run HR in the top of the 13th with 1-out. It was Inge's 1st HR as an Expos. The 30 year old is now hitting .212 with 3 HRs and 17 RBIs in 60 games this year with the Expos (8) and Pirates (52). This is Inge's 9th season in the MLB, his career high batting average was in 1976 when he hit .233 with 13 HRs and 43 RBIs in 84 games for the Dodgers.

Expos CF Danny Plantz collected his 20th SB of the year. Expos RHP Mark Holmgren gave up a game tying HR in the bottom of the 9th to get his 1st blown save of the season. RHP, Mark Upton got the final 5 outs for his 1st MLB career win and is now 1-0.

Expos 1B Darren Maher left the game in the 3rd when he was hit on the hand with a pitch.
