Aeros Sneak Past Expos on Sunday Night, Win 5-4
The
Montreal Expos could not turn a fine performance from center fielder
Brian Schill into a win. Instead, the
Boston Aeros prevailed, 5-4.
Schill belted 2 home runs. Replacing the ailing
Vicente Rodriguez,
Schill is batting .327-2-6 .953OPS 1.0WAR in 14 games.
Bob Sims got credit for the win, improving to 1-1. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 1.2 innings. Picking up the save was
Paul Ide, his 3rd.
Tony Munoz, who is tied for 8th in the EL in RBI with 15, chipped in a solo home run for
Boston in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 run batted in.
"What's not to like about a win?" said
Munoz. The veteran journeyman is batting .357-3-15 .944OPS 0.9WAR in 21 games.
Boston goes to 10-12.

Herzer came in in relief and had his worst outing so far this season. And by the way,
Schill is very streaky and looks hot right now, but never batted for an OPS+ over 100, including in his freak 28HR year in 2020.
