For the second time in 16 days, Steve Rogers flirted with a no-hitter before the Expos' ace righthander finally gave up four hits en route to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Rogers went 7 2/3 hitless innings against the Phillies June 23. This time, Rogers stymied the Dodgers for 7 1/3 innings before Davey Lopes and Bill Russell singled. The Dodger threat evaporated when Reggie Smith grounded into a double play. Ron Cey homered in the ninth and Von Joshua added a single before Rogers wound up his victory. The Expos counted their pair off Burt Hooton with two out in the sixth when Warren Cromartie and Rodney Scott singled and Andre Dawson brought them home with a double. [The Sporting News] |
