Expos Handle St. Louis, Snag 7-5 Win
George Shuba made an impact in the 7-5 Montreal win over St. Louis. Shuba, who finished 5th in the NL in OPS with .920 in 1992, was 1 for 2 with 2 walks and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Ben Sheets was the winner. Over 6.2 innings, he yielded 5 runs on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Montreal has won 3 straight, while St. Louis has lost 3 in a row.

It could have been a different outcome for Montreal, had it not been for John Hale, the 30-year old left fielder . Hale contributed a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put Montreal up, 2-1.

"We're one win closer to our goal," Hale said in postgame remarks.
