Three-hit pitching by Steve Rogers enabled the Expos to open their season with a 2-0 blanking of the Phillies. The Expos scored in the first inning on a solo homer by Andre Dawson and added another marker in the fourth when Warren Cromartie singled, took third on a double by Tim Wallach and came in on a sacrifice fly by Chris Speier.
