Rodney Scott walked with one out in the eighth inning, stole second and scored the winning run on Ellis Valentine's double as the Expos edged the Padres, 2-1, behind Scott Sanderson's four-hit pirching. Luis Salazar's first home run of the season had tied the game for the Padres in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
