In the battle of the Macs, Jim McAndrew outpitched Mike "Spicy" McCormick and the save went to Tug McGraw.
Donn Clendenon smacked his league leading 15th homer, a grand slam, as Montreal built a 10-2 lead over the Pods for the second straight day. But the Expo pitchers almost coughed it up! With the score 11-9 in the ninth, the Holy Men had runners on second and third with two out, but failed to come all the way back.

Finally, the Reds tried to make Lee May's 2-run shot stand up against the Cardinals, but the Redbirds tied it off of George Culver, and then bombarded dazed reliever Clay Carroll for a four spot in the eighth. The Reds managed just 3 hits, while the Cards put together 13, all singles. "We'll peck you to death!" quoth the ferocious fowls. Personable flyhawk Alex Johnson died a horrible death during this game, and will miss 6 games. With Bobby Tolan and Woody Woodward already out, the Reds must send out the likes of Jimmy Stewart, Darrell Chaney and savage Ted Savage for a few games.
Leaders!

The Cardinals are obviously over-carded and you should probably read down a couple of lines for more accurate results.
Steve, the Cards had a very ordinary May, going 13-13, but are still riding their phenomenal April. Also, nobody else in the division made a move while they were treading water.
Two names stand out a bit: Bill Hands with a 7-1 record and leading the league in ERA and Rose with 13 Home Runs. I just never thought of him in any way as a home run hitter.
So nice to see 'Spos at the top of two categories. Keep it going Donn & Manny!
William--Donn and Manny will be rewarded by being traded away soon, lol. Hands had a big year that year. As for Mr. Rose, he tied his personal best with 16 HR that year, but has had the lucky dice with the second column all year. He should hit a lot of doubles, but hasn't so far, because they're mostly going over the fence! I even scrutinized his card to see if it is accurate and it is; he's just been lucky. You betcha!
Rose's success with home runs in your replay, reminds me of Ivan Rodriguez in my 2007 Detroit Tigers' season replay -- Lots of second-column HR success for Pudge. Excellent stuff as always, Fireblossom!
Shawn, today that '07 Tiger team would likely make the wild card. They had so much firepower with Pudge, Maglio, Granderson, Guillen and Marcus Thames. But Kenny Rogers' late spring training injury really hurt the pitching staff. :-(
