Northern Expos-ure

Big Daddy (Rick Reuschel) got lit up for 4 runs in the top of the 1st, but the Cubs didn't run and hide.  Solo runs in the 2nd, 4th and 5th innings made it a 1 run game until Le Expos exploded for 4 in the 6th to knock Reuschel out of the box.  Suprise starter Don Stanhouse left the game after getting the first out in the 7th after giving up just 3.  The Expo pen held tight as the offense went balistic.  Mike Jorgensen had a 4 for 5 day and Nate Colbert looked to turn back the clock with his 3 for 5 afternoon.  Larry Parrish hit a 3 run shot in the 1st and grabbed another RBI in the 7th with a single.  Jose Cardenal had himself a 3 for 4 day for the Cubbies and raised his early season average to .488.  The normally sure handed Manny Trillo had 2 errors at second.  If Colbert can keep up his hot hitting (.333) there is a good chance he could become the comeback player of the year.  The Expos hit the "magical" .500 mark for the first time all season !
