| Three Montreal pitchers combined to hurl the Expos to a 2-0 blanking of the Cubs, giving G.M. Jim Fanning his first victory as manager. Chicago got only three hits, all singles by Leon Durham. Chris Speier broke an 0-for-17 slump with a third-inning single and scored on an infield out, and Larry Parrish hit a solo homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News] |
