Charlie Puleo, Pete Falcone and Neil Allen combined on a four-hitter as the Mets blanked the Expos, 1-0. The game's only run came in the seventh inning when Gary Rajsich and John Stearns lashed consecutive doubles. Allen earned his fifth save, taking over in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and stopping Montreal on a grounder and a flyout. [The Sporting News]
