He made sure it didn&#8217;t happen again. Bagwell hit a 2-run home run in the 1st against Pedro Mart\u00ednez, and added another 2-run shot in the 5th inning. He finished 3 for 4 as the 1998 Houston Astros romped to a 7-2 win. Mart\u00ednez picked up the loss, allowing 6 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings. Shane Reynolds was great for the Astros. Reynolds allowed 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 6 in a complete game victory. Derek Bell was the other Astros standout, going 3 for 4 and scoring 3 runs. Gil Heredia pitched 2 innings of relief for the Expos, allowing a run on 4 hits. The win evens the best-of-5 series between the two teams. They have a day off before heading to Montreal for Games 3 and 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/09-09-2024_MON_HOU.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'94 Expos @ '98 Astros - 9\/9\/24\">&#8217;94 Expos @ &#8217;98 Astros &#8211; 9\/9\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Bagwell homered in Game 1 against the 1994 Montreal Expos only to watch his Astros lose in extra innings.
