Cubs Prevail, 5-3, Over Montreal
Montreal got a terrific game from left fielder Ron LeFlore. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Chicago, 5-3. LeFlore was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Tim Wakefield picked up the win with 6.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 earned runs on 6 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 7-5. Sergio Escalona notched his 2nd save in 3 chances.

Chicago needed the clutch hitting of Terry Steinbach to notch the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-3. For the game, Steinbach had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Chuck Glidden. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."

The Expos, now 50-58, have lost 9 straight.
