Expos Earn Win with Late Rally
Thanks in large part to right fielder John Hale, the Montreal Expos beat the Minnesota Twins, 9-8. Hale went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Montreal reliever Bob Lee got the win, raising his record to 2-1. Brandon Kintzler was tagged with the loss. Montreal sits in 6th place in the National League at 56-57.

The decisive blow was delivered by Adam LaRoche in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Brandon Kintzler to win the game for Montreal. The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd was boisterous tonight," said Hale.
