John Bateman hit a three-run homer for the second time in two games to lead the Expos to a 7-6 victory over the Astros. Coco Laboy batted in one run with a single in the first inning before Bateman belted his homer. The Astros came back to tie the score at 5-5 in the fifth, but the Expos picked up a tally in their half and added what proved to be the winning run in the sixth when Laboy hit a sacrifice fly for his second RBI of the game.
