The Montreal Expos grab game 1 with a win in a tight game. It appeared Montreal had things in good shape until a PH Sho Motoi 3 run HR in the 6th tied the game. The Expos did get the lead back on a CF Danny Plantz Sac Fly that scored PR Roberto Duran in the 8th. Montreal CL Aidan Beasley who was shaky in the NL League Championship gave up a lead off hit in the 9th that startled the Expos faithful, but he got a timely double play to end the threat and get his 2nd save to the post season.

Expos C Mark Inge was named the player of the game, he was 2 for 3 including a solo HR in the 5th. His single in the 8th got things started in the inning, he was lifted for a Duran to PR and he later scored. Inge is now hitting .222 with 1 HR and 4 RBIs in 7 post season games. For his career he is hitting .265 with 2 HRs and 12 RBIs in 18 post season games.

Expos 3B Gilberto Luna collected his 5th SB of the post season in the win. Expos LHP Matt Cruz got the win for his 2 innings of work and is now 1-0 in the post season.
