Philadelphia Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win

Fans watched the Philadelphia Grizzlies and the Montreal Expos fight to the finish.

The Philadelphia Grizzlies picked up a win at Citizens Bank Park, knocking off the Montreal Expos, 5-4. On the mound for Philadelphia was left-hander Ruben Torrez. He played a key role in the triumph, working eight scoreless innings with 14K but got the ND. Philadelphia raised its record to 74-60 with the win.

The Grizzlies got a clutch hit from catcher Juan Cardenas. In the bottom of the 14th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Grizzlies.

"What a buzz," said Cardenas after it was over. The 24-year old catcher is batting .251-5-33 .657OPS 1.6WAR in 97 games.

Murrietta, Expos Win 4-1 at Philadelphia

Montreal beat Philadelphia on the strength of starting pitcher Marty Murrietta's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-1. Murrietta, the winner, moves to 7-5. He threw 6.2 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 9 and giving up 2 walks. Picking up the save was Kevin Cowden. He's now 24 for 29 in save chances.

"I liked his command," said Montreal manager Aaron McCreery. "Marty was throwing strikes."

Montreal used a clutch at-bat from Mitku Kazemd to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Expos ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger. The 22-year old is batting .247-12-35 .670OPS 0.7WAR in 100 games.

Montreal is now 68-70, Philadelphia 74-61.

Aeros Rack Up 10-6 Win Versus Montreal

The Boston Aeros defeated the Montreal Expos, 10-6, in part because of third baseman Alex Torres. Torres went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Aeros. Jordan Arroyo, the winning pitcher, is now 4-3. He went 7.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 5 and walking 1. With the win, the Aeros sit at 72-66.

"It feels good to get this one," Torres told the Boston Herald. The 2x Gold Glover is batting .268-6-34 .702OPS 1.6WAR in 105 games.

Expos Win Series and Game, 6-3, Over Aeros

Montreal pitcher Sam Griffin had a large part in his team beating the Boston Aeros, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. By defeating Boston, the third-place Expos improved to 70-71.

Montreal relied on the hitting of Ignacio Benavides to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the fifth inning to put the Expos on top, 3-0. For the game, Benavides had 1 triple and 3 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Sam did a nice job," said Expos manager Aaron McCreery.
