					| Expos Come Up Short at Texas, 5-4 |  
					| Texas center fielder Zhao-ji Chi made his presence felt in the 5-4 Rangers triumph over the Montreal Expos. Chi went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once.  Kevin Ovens-Toots was the winner. Over 5 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts. The third-place Rangers have won 4 consecutive games. 
 Chi contributed a big hit, a 3-run  home run, for Texas in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 3-1, Chi took a cutter from Julian Black and stroked the home run to left. His 14th home run of the season allowed the Rangers to leap in front, 4-3.
 
 "This was a good win," said Chi.
