Habitants Win, Now 47-38
Montreal beat Toronto on the strength of starting pitcher Manny Esparza's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-2. Montreal now has a record of 47-38 with the win.

Jim Compton's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with the bases loaded and the game tied, 2-2. The Montreal right fielder hit a 2-run single off Larry Haines to put the Habitants up.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon. "That's what Manny is right now."
