MLB FREEBIE: 2* MONTREAL
Believe it or not the Expos are riding a current 3-game win streak after putting together back-to-back 3-run innings last night in the 6th and 7th taking advantage of a costly error by Marlins 2nd baseman Luis Castillo.
Today at Olympic we will see a very different Livan Hernandez going for the Expos. The right-hander is 4-1 with a 2.75 ERA on turf and will have the confidence in a bullpen that has thrown 18 innings this week allowing 17 hits and only 1 unearned run. Hernandez is also 6-3 L/T with a 2.50 ERA.
Hernandez has lost 3 straight but two of those starts were against the Braves, a team which he has never had success, with the other against the Phillies where he went 8 IP and gave up only 4 hits and 2 runs.
Florida has now lost 6 of their last 9 while watching the Phils and Braves extend their lead to 3 ½ games in the East. Justin Wayne will see the hill as a starter for the 1st time this season after posting a 3-2 record in 18 relief appearances. Wayne has thrown 27+ IP, allowing 27 hits and 18 runs along with 2 blown saves this season.
