Pirates Come Back Late to Top Expos
Montreal left fielder Al L Martin had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-4, to Pittsburgh at La Stade Olympique. Martin went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Montreal has now lost 5 in a row.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out in the top of the eighth inning. That's when catcher Jason Varitek, who is a three-time All-Star, got hit by a pitch. The Pirates went on to win.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Montreal manager Chuck Glidden.
