Ken Hill outdueled Randy Johnson to give the 1994 Montreal Expos the chance they needed against the 1998 Houston Astros. Hill allowed just one run on 4 hits through 7 innings. Meanwhile. the Big Unit had another tough-luck start. Johnson allowed 2 runs in the 3rd inning on three seeing-eye singles. Dave Clark singled in Brad Ausmus in the 8th to tie the game at 2. With 13 strikeouts, Johnson pitched into the 9th, but allowed a leadoff single to Wil Cordero and walked Lenny Webster. Jay Powell got Sean Berry to fly out and then struck out Juan Bell. That’s when Cliff Floyd came off the bench to pinch-hit. Floyd worked the count and then drilled a 3-1 pitch into the gap, scoring Cordero and Webster to give Montreal a 4-2 lead. John Wetteland pitched a scoreless 9th for just his 2nd save, advancing the Expos to the NL Championship Series. That series will be a rematch between the Expos and the top-seeded 1998 Atlanta Braves. The Astros lost to the Expos in Game 5 for the 2nd time in the Tournament. Johnson ended the Tournament 0-3, despite averaging over 10 Ks per start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
