Catcher Gary Carter launched 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Steve Rogers allowed
Jim Fanning to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the Montreal
Expos bested the California Angels 5 to 1 at Olympic Stadium.
 
The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Carter.  He bombed a two-run dinger in the 1st inning and popped
a two-run clout over the fence in the 6th inning.  Montreal had a total of 8
hits for the game.  
 
Rogers(1-0), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Geoff
Zahn(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He surrended 3 homeruns in his 5 and 1/3
innings.
