Carmen Fanzone batted in one run with an infield out in the first inning and drove in two more with a single in the fifth to lead the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Expos. Jack Aker, making his first appearance with the Cubs after coming over from the Yankees, relieved Juan Pizarro in the eighth and received credit for a save. [The Sporting News]
