Steve Rogers posted his fourth shutout of the season, allowing only four hits, as the Expos defeated the Padres, 3-0. Jose Morales, batting for Jerry White in the seventh inning, drove in the Expos' first run with a single. The pinch-hit was the 21st of the year for Morales and the RBI was his 18th in a substitute batting role. [The Sporting News]
