Conditions were not ideal but Montreal and Detroit were able to put their game in the books.

The Montreal Expos picked up a win at Comerica Park, taking down the Detroit Trains, 5-3. Starting pitcher Brett Asselin was a big reason why. Asselin yielded 3 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 4, and struck out 3. His record improves to 11-4.

Julian Hernandez, who is tied for 3rd in the EL in doubles with 25, helped out the Montreal cause in the top of the sixth inning with a 2-run double. For the game, the third baseman was 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"We take it day by day here," said Hernandez, "and today was a good one for us." The #5 prospect prior to the season is batting .312-13-59 .835OPS 2.0WAR in 90 games.

With the win, Montreal upped its record to 61-36.
