Cotto Blasts White Sox, Expos Take Game 1, 5-2
The Montreal Expos started the Division Series in style today, winning on the road against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field by a score of 5-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Expos third baseman Alberto Cotto excelled. He was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

Cotto had a critical at-bat in the top of the seventh for Montreal, coming through with a solo home run to put Montreal in front, 4-2.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Cotto told the Montreal Observer. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
