Steve Rogers had a strong outing as the Montreal Expos defeated the New York
Mets 2 to 1 at Olympic Stadium.
 
Rogers(20-5) was simply too much for the New York batters.  He allowed just 4
hits and 2 walks in 9 innings.  New York had a chance in the 9th but they
came up short.  
 
Rick Ownbey(1-2) was hit with the loss.  When questioned about his counterpart
after the game, Ownbey was lavish in his praise, 'It was obvious very early
on that we were going to be in for a long night.  Rogers brought his 'A' game
with him - he had good stuff and was able to spot it perfectly.  He probably
only made one or two bad pitches the entire game!
