Posting his fourth shutout of the season, Steve Rogers allowed only four hits and pitched the Expos to a 4-0 victory over the Dodgers. The Expos scored their first run in the fourth inning on singles by Chris Speier and Gary Carter sandwiched around two infield outs. Tony Perez clinched Rogers' 10th victory with a bases-loaded double in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
