With Bruce Kison and Kent Tekulve combining on a three-hitter, the Pirates enjoyed a 3-0 whitewashing of the Expos. A sacrifice fly by Dale Berra drove home the first run in the second inning and a homer by Phil Garner in the sixth upped the margin to 2-0. The Pirates' final tally came in the eighth on singles by Duffy Dyer, Garner and Dave Parker. [The Sporting News]
