Expos Fall, 7-4, to Cruz, Athletics
The 7-4 Oakland win over Montreal was due largely to Nelson Cruz. The Athletics left fielder was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Oakland pitcher Mark Mulder earned the win, hiking his record to 8-4. Matt Ginter suffered the loss. Picking up the save was 33-year old right-handed pitcher Brendan Donnelly.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 26-year old third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Ramirez had a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-1. For the game, Ramirez had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I felt good up there," said Cruz. "I saw the ball well."

Oakland is now 39-30, Montreal 33-36.
