Henry Shuts Out Astros, Expos Force Game 5

The 1994 Montreal Expos scored at will against Mike Hampton, and Butch Henry pitched the game of his life, leading the Expos over the 1998 Houston Astros 11-0 to force Game 5. Hampton never seemed comfortable as the Expos scored twice in each of the 1st two innings and 4 runs in the 4th. Hampton allowed 8 runs on 11 hits in just 4 innings. Needing a win, Henry pitched a 3-hit shutout. After Craig Biggio singled in the 3rd inning, Henry didn’t allow another hit until Richard Hidalgo singled with 2 outs in the 9th. Carl Everett is expected to miss a few days after he collided with the wall in the 2nd inning. The Expos will be without Rondell White for the rest of the tournament. White suffered a thumb injury swinging in the 6th inning. White was 3 for 4 with a double and two triples before leaving the game.
