Braves stay alive with win as Expos drop details
Braves clinch magic number six to win the East as Steve Avery pitches six solid innings. Marquis Grissom goes three for five with two steals and a run, continuing his hot play against Montreal. Pedro Martinez strikes out 58 in six starts, allowing five hits, but a fifth inning hiccup opened the door for Atlanta. Avery returns from a long layoff and keeps Montreal from a sweep, while a late misplay by Lemke on a routine play helps Expos, who remain focused on San Diego and playoff chances.
