An 8-2 run put us 49-21 and we've opened up a 3 game lead over Montreal. 1st in runs, 2nd in pitching and 2nd in defense as continue to lead in HR's and are now 2nd in steals.
Around the league, The Orioles have a 7 game lead in the AL East, but the other divisions are still close. The Royals lead the Twins by 2 games, and the A's are up 1 on the Rangers and 2 on the Mariners.
We are 3 up on the Expos while the Cubs are 4 games ahead of the Reds and 5 up on the Pirates. Out West, nobody is over .500, but the Padres lead the Giants by 1 1/2
Jim Thome of the Royals suffered one of the those random injuries tearing his rotator cuff, "tripping over luggage at home. The Astros were hit by major injuries with Greg Vaughn and Scott Brosius suffering season ending injuries, 5-time all star Dave Clark is out for the year with an elbow for the Tigers, Albert Belle will be out for 7 weeks with a leg injury, that will really hurt the Expos chances of catching us
