Scott Sanderson pitched a five hitter as the Expos pounded out 14 hits in easing to an 11-0 blanking of the Cubs. The Expos scored four runs in the second inning on an RBI single by Warren Cromartie, error by Cubs third baseman Steve Dillard and a two-run single by Gary Carter. Errors by Dillard and Bobby Bonds also contributed to the Expos' six-run fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
