Adam LaRoche helped his team muscle past the Houston Astros, 8-3. In the game, the Montreal first baseman went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The Astros, now 46-78, have lost 4 in a row.

Montreal relied on the bat of John Hale to get the win. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the first inning to put the Expos ahead, 1-0. For the game, Hale had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"There's a lot of fight left in this team," said Hale.
