Coco Laboy batted in four runs with a homer, single and double to pace the Expos to a 7-2 victory over the Cardinals. The homer was the first of the year for Laboy, who missed the first half of the season because of a knee operation and then spent two months at Peninsula (International) before returning to the Expos' lineup September 8.
