Astros 6, Expos 2
Larry Dierker vs Steve Rogers
Houston scored solo runs off of Rogers in the 1st, 3rd and 7th innings. Montreal couldn't hit a lick off of Larry Dierker who looked like he was back in 1969 form when he won 20 games. Rogers wasn't terrible, but with this team's lack of hitting you need to be Koufax-like to get a win in these parts. Montreal managed just 2 late runs off of a disinterested Dierker who by that point had 9 k's and was just trying to get to the finish line. Rogers had 9 k's as well and gave up just 2 earned runs, but still saw his record drop to 1-3 with a 2.90 ERA. Dale Murray came in to pitch the 9th and made sure the game was completely out of reach by giving up 3 runs (1 earned). Met retread, Ken Boswell, had his second consecutive 2 hit game. Manager Joey Scigliano before the series left strict instructions, "to play Boswell at second vs any righty". Boy did he know something. Houston accomplished the rare road sweep as Montreal seems to be in a downward spiral.
