=== Montreal Expos Team Report - July 22 === (My Sportsbook) - The Montreal Expos try to get back on the winning track as they take on the Florida Marlins in the finale of their two-game series tonight at Pro Player Stadium. The Expos have lost three in a row and five of their last six. They fell 4-1 last night despite the return of outfielder Vladimir Guerrero, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list. Guerrero had missed 39 games with a herniated disc after he was placed on the DL on June 6. Guerrero ended 2- for-4, while Wil Cordero drove in the lone run for the Expos. The latest slip by Montreal has the Expos six games behind wild card leader Philadelphia. Tomo Ohka takes the hill tonight for Montreal. The righty is 0-2 over his last three outings. It's been either feast or famine this season for Ohka. He holds a 1.26 ERA (7 earned runs, 49 2/3 innings) in his seven victories. However, he is 0-9 with a 6.97 ERA (48 earned runs, 62 innings) in his other 13 starts. Ohka owns a 1-2 career mark against the Marlins. He will make his second start at Pro Player Stadium this year. On May 24, Ohka picked up a win, going six innings and allowing two runs and seven hits. Montreal outfielder Ron Calloway is in a 3-for-29 slump over his last nine games. The Expos are 22-31 on the road. The Expos have won six of their last eight on the road versus the Marlins. |
