'Spos take 2 of 3 from fading Phightin's

GAME 1 - Citizens BB
Lannan vs Happ
Expos 3, Phillies 1
John Lannan edges J.A. Happ in this battle of lefties who only go 6 innings.  Lannan (3-1, 4.01) gave up just 1 run on 3 hits while fanning 8.  Happ had a shutout until he tired in the top of the 7th and combined with Ryan Radson to give up 3 runs.  Larry Parrish led off the inning with a single and was immediately removed for pinch runner Tim Raines, who stole second.  "The Hawk", Andre Dawson tripled home Raines to tie the score then scored on a daring base running play while tagging up on "Kid" Carter's shallow fly to right.  With 2 outs Ellis Valentine singled, then stole second and third then scored on an error by Richie Allen at third.  Chad Cordero pitched a scoreless 9th to post his 2nd save of the season.  Dale Murray pitched two scoreless innings of relief in the setup role.

GAME 2 - Stadie' Olympique
Ruffin vs Hermanson
Phillies 6, Expos 1

"The Bull", Greg Luzinski homered twice and had 4 RBI's as the normally docile Philly offense showed some spunk.  Bruce Ruffin (1-2, 2.56) finally got some run support and responded with a 7 inning effort of 1 run ball.  Bottalico and Brusstar combined to shutout the 'Spos over the final 2 frames.  Ashburn and Montanez also hit homers as Philly took full advantage of the long ball.

GAME 3
Culp vs Rogers
Expos 7, Phillies 2
Montreal broke open a close 3-1 contest with 4 huge runs in the bottom of the 8th.  Steve Rogers (2-2, 1.78) finally got some runs to work with and gave up just 1 hit in 8 innings of work (an RBI single to Luzinski).  Rogers even got into the act on the offensive side as well by delivering the go ahead runs in the bottom of the 4th with a two out 2 run single.
