The Expos shaded the Padres, 4-3, as Willie Montanez drove home the winning run with a pinch-single in the bottom of the ninth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Warren Cromartie led off the Montreal ninth with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Larry Parrish, took third as Chris Speier grounded out and came home when Montanez stroked a ball to left-center.
