Habitants Edge Lords, 3-2
In a low-scoring clash between Montreal and Baltimore, pitcher Manny Esparza was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned praise for his performance in the 3-2 Habitants win. Mark Weeks notched his 2nd save in 2 chances. The win lifted the Montreal record to 45-37.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Habitants had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when right fielder Tim Delaney hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Kenny Wilson and made the score 3-0, Habitants. Delaney went 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"Tough loss," said Baltimore manager Steve Read. "But that's how the chips sometimes fall."
