=== Montreal Expos Team Report - May 24 === (My Sportsbook) - Kevin Millwood became the National League's first seven- game winner as the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Montreal Expos, 4-2, Friday in the opener of a three-game series. Jose Vidro and Brian Schneider each drove in runs for the Expos, who had a winning streak snapped at three games and lost for only the third time in 11 outings. Zach Day (4-2), making his first start since being ejected in the third inning Saturday at Colorado for using a glue-like substance to treat a blister, also battled with his control, walking six batters in the loss. He allowed three runs on eight hits while striking out four in just five innings of work. Taking the hill for the Expos Saturday is Tomo Ohka, who has dropped three of his last four decisions to fall to 3-5 on the season. Ohka suffered the loss against Colorado in his last outing Sunday, despite permitting just two runs on six hits in six innings, while walking three and striking out five. Ohka has pitched well against the Phillies in his career, going 4-1 with a 1.36 ERA in five starts.
