Expos Drop Royals with Late Score
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Kauffman Stadium.

The Montreal Expos topped the Kansas City Royals, 10-7, with right fielder Willie McGee playing a big role. McGee was 4 for 5 with a triple and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Expos in the win. Rob Johnson earned the save, his 3rd.

Montreal used the timely hitting of Miguel Cabrera to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Expos on top, 10-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," McGee said after the game.

The Royals fall to 11-15 and continue their uneven start to the 1969 season.
