Astros snap skid with late rally versus Expos in Montreal
Cesar Cedeno homered twice and Tommy Helms delivered a two run single in the ninth as the Houston Astros came back from a 7 6 deficit to beat the Montreal Expos 9 7. A collision at second base left Tim Foli with a broken jaw and Bob Watson apologizing for the dangerous play as Expos fans booed. Jerry Reuss earned the win in relief, his 11th, while Cedeno made a leaping grab preventing a homer earlier in the game. The report also notes Lee Trevino's wire to wire victory at the Doral Open by one stroke over Bruce Crampton.
