The 1998 Houston Astros needed a lot of help, but walked away with a 7-5 win over the 1994 Montreal Expos to even the series in the Best of the 1990s Tournament. Facing Butch Henry in the 6th, Moises Alou doubled in Jeff Bagwell to tie the game 2-2. Mike Lansing then bobbled a grounder to let the go-ahead run score. In the 7th, Larry Walker missed a sharp grounder that led to two more unearned runs. Even so, the Expos came back in the bottom of the inning against a tiring Mike Hampton when Walker hit an RBI double and Wil Cordero followed with a triple, his 4th hit of the game. Sean Berry’s error allowed the Expos to tie the game. In the 9th, Carl Everett doubled off Expos reliever Mel Rojas, and Bill Spiers hit a clutch pinch-hit RBI single to put Houston on top again. Ricky Gutiérrez added another run off John Wetteland to give the Astros a 7-5 lead. Billy Wagner had another shaky outing, allowing a double sandwiched with two walks to load the bases with one out. But pinch-hitter Cliff Floyd flew out to shallow left, and Marquis Grissom struck out to end the game. With the series even, it heads back to the Astrodome for Game 5. Grissom’s has struggled at the plate, going 0 for 6 in this game, and hitting .047 in the Tournament.
