It looked like a typical Expos game, great pitching but a lack of clutch hitting. Had 11 runners stranded, could not take advantage of 12 walks...... yes 12 walks. Then in the bottom of the 9th, the Expos tie it with a RBI single by Donato Bem after Yue-Jiu Zhou singled and stole 2nd. Bem gets caught stealing but then with 1-out Darren Maher reaches 1st via an error. C Mark Inge moves Maher to 2nd with his single setting up rookie CF Alex Gomez with 2 runs on and 1-out. He drives the 3-2 pitch into the RF bleachers for his 1st career MLB HR and a walk off win.

Expos SP Jim Lea was the player of the game but without a decision. The 26 year old is now 5-5 with a 4.11 EA in 16 starts. Last year Lea was 3-1 with 1 save, a 2.98 ERA in 43 games with the Expos (9) and Mariners (34).

The Expos got 2 SBs from Yue-Jiu Zhou including his 30th while Gilberto Luna collected his 50th SB of the year. RHP Carlos Vera pitched the 9th to get the win, he is now 1-0.

Mets SP Nate Joubert's 9 walks ties the NL regular season record.
