Mejias homers lift Expos past Cardinals in Montreal
Montréal Expos rookie van Mesias hit his first major league homer to snap a tie and spark a 7-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Andre Dawson Gary Carter and Tony Perez also homered as Montreal completed a three game sweep. Mesias, 25, praised for defense, said the hit came on a fastball down the middle from Clay Carroll. He noted the novelty of the moment as teammates celebrated the victory and Mesias’s rise with the Expos after being traded from St. Louis last November.
