The Padres defeat the Expos, 10 – 3, in a game in which they are nearly allowed four outs in the 7th inning. When San Diego’s Reggie Sanders strikes out for the 3rd out, the umpires don’t notice and the players do not leave the field. Phil Nevin comes to the plate and runs the count to 2-1 against Expos P Ted Lilly before someone in the Montreal dugout points out the problem to home plate umpire Jerry Layne.
