The Montreal Expos withstood an impressive performance by Mexico City first baseman Josh Lester to defeat the Suns, 6-5, at Sunsdome. Lester was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Montreal reliever Stevie Branche was the winner. His record is now 4-0. The losing pitcher was Richard Lovelady. Sean Newcomb locked down his 21st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Matt Rudick? The Montreal designated hitter had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Expos on top, 5-3. For the game, Rudick had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Rudick.
