Mike Torrez, making his first start of the season for the Expos, pitched a five-hitter and beat the Giants, 2-1. The Expos counted both their runs in the third inning on a double by John Boccabella, triple by Tim Foli and error by Dave Kingman. The Giants picked up their lone tally in the home half on singles by Chris Arnold and Chris Speier around a bunt by Steve Stone. [The Sporting News]
