Ken Hill of the 1994 Montreal Expos has Randy Johnson’s number. Hill allowed 3 runs in the 1st inning against the 1998 Houston Astros, including a 2-run home run by Sean Berry. But he found his groove once again, scattering 5 hits and a Jeff Bagwell home run the rest of the game. Johnson was having flashbacks to the last time they faced off, back in the 1st round of the Tournament, when he lost to Hill to drop the Astros to the Loser’s Bracket. This time, the Expos scored 2 runs in the 4th, and 3 more in the 5th on their way to a win. Moises Alou’s 2-run double gave Montreal the lead that they wouldn’t give up. Johnson allowed 6 runs on 10 hits despite striking out 12 in 8 innings. John Wetteland picked up his 1st save of the Tournament as the Expos took Game 1 6-4. Hill is 2-0 and Johnson is 0-2, all against each other. Rickey Gutierrez is expected to miss about a week after injuring his hip sliding into 2nd base on a double. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
