Houston Astros (35-51) 0 3 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 5 10 1
Montreal Expos (44-40) 0 1 2 3 1 6 0 0 X 13 12 0
Hale Hits Two Dingers, Expos Win, 13-5
Behind a fine performance from John Hale, the Montreal Expos knocked off the Houston Astros, 13-5. Hale belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Expos. The Astros have now dropped 5 straight.

Adam LaRoche had a big bases-clearing double for the Expos in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Montreal trailing 4-3 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from Jose Lima, who finished 3rd in the NL in innings pitched with 227.2 in 1997, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 25th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Expos ahead, 6-4.

"We're not really clicking on anything right now," said Houston manager Claybor Finley.
