Expos Drop Cubs, 5-1
The Montreal Expos knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 5-1, in NL action at Wrigley Field. Montreal pitcher and St. Petersburg, Florida, native Boof Bonser had an outstanding performance. Bonser got the win, improving to 7-9. He gave up 5 hits and walked 4 over 5.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The win gives Montreal a season record of 83-70.

Mike Lieberthal had a big 2-run home run for the Expos in the top of the fifth inning. With Montreal leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a slider from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Shaun Marcum and punished it. The result was his 11th home run of the season, which put the Expos on top, 4-1.

"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Bonser said in reaction to the win.
