GAME ID: 1290 - THURSDAY, JULY 30TH, 1998 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 R H E
Montreal Expos (66-42) 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 1 0 4 11 13 0
Baltimore Orioles (27-81) 0 0 2 0 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 7 10 1
Expos Win in Extras
The Montreal Expos relied on the hitting of first baseman Eric Karros to stop the Baltimore Orioles, 11-7. For the game, Karros belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Montreal reliever Mike Jeffcoat picked up the win, upping his record to 3-5. Turk Wendell was saddled with the loss. The Expos have an impressive 66-42 record.

It could have been a different outcome for Montreal, had it not been for Johnny Damon, the former first round draft pick . Damon contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the 11th inning to put Montreal up, 9-7.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Karros told the Montreal Daily. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
