Game 23: Continuing their mini-roadtrip to Cleveland, Montreal chokes up a 3-run lead in the eighth but wins it in 10 on Melvin Mora's single... the potential lead run was thrown out at the plate earlier in that inning.

Next up: home-and-homes with AL opponents Detroit and Boston.

Game 29: Yovani Gallardo allows only one run in seven innings of work, and Michael Cuddyer hits a two-run homer in the eighth to send the Spectres to a 3-1 victory over visiting Detroit. Arhtur Rhodes strikes out the side in the eighth for the win; Jason Frasor bounces back from his blown save in the previous game to earn his ninth save of the year.

Game 30: The Spectre hitters take a liking to Comerica Park, especially Jose Lopez, who has five of Montreal's 19 hits, including three doubles. While the pitchers don't have similar success, they hold in there long enough to deliver a 15-6 win. Dallas Braden even contributes with a two-run double.

Game 31: Held to three hits through seven, the Spectres and Brawn are tied at one as the Spectres come to the plate in the bottom of the eighth. After an error and a fielder's choice, Carl Crawford steals second, then third. What  a waste of time. The next three batters (Jose Lopez, Seth Smith, Dan Uggla) each hits a triple off Guillermo Mota. Boston brings in Trevor Hoffman, but he allows an RBI single to Michael Cuddyer before retiring the side. Spectres win, 5-1, as Brandon Lyon pitches a scoreless ninth.

Brandon Lyon finishes up and Montreal wins 6-1.

Interleague sets with Seattle and Orange County are next.

Game 36: In a karmic justice sort of game, Seattle's Jim Thome makes an error on the leadoff batter in the bottom of the ninth. Carl Crawford follows with an RBI double that ties the score at four. A strikeout and a lineout are followed by a walk to Dan Uggla. Junichi Tazawa exits, Daniel Bard enters. He walks Michael Cuddyer. Alfonso Soriano...BOOM!!!! WALKOFF GRAND SLAM!!!!!! Spectres win 8-4.

Game 37: Rookie shortstop prospect Isaiah Batten collects three hits, but is the only Spectre to solve Tim Lincecum, who throws a complete game 4-hit shutout to beat Montreal 5-0.

Game 38: Gavin Floyd pitches reasonably well until the sixth, where he is responsible for six Orange County runs while retiring only one batter. Only a five-run-bottom-of-the-ninth rally by Montreal makes it a close game. Michael Cuddyer's three-run homer makes it a 9-8 game with none out, but the next three batters are retired in order and that's the final score.

Game 39: Visiting Montreal outhits the Choppers 9-4, but doesn't do much in the scoring department off Josh Beckett, losing 4-1. The Spectres' division lead narrows to a single game; we host Milwaukee next.

The Spectres head to Houston to face the Lone Stars.

Game 43: Ryan Doumit's two-run homer sparks a five-run rally in the ninth, and the Spectres get masterful pitching from both Gavin Floyd and the bullpen to beat Houston 6-1.

Game 44: Yovani Gallardo suffers another tough-luck loss as his "offense" manages only three hits in a 1-0 shutout loss to Houston. Gallardo has the rotation's best ERA at 3.05, but is 0-6 on the season.

Game 45: Aaron Cook throws six scoreless innings and the Spectres hit three home runs on the way to a rare laugher, beating the Lone Stars 10-0.

Game 51: In Atlanta, AJ Burnett takes things into his own hands, leading off the third inning with a home run. It's one of three longballs by the Spectres, and they top the Farmers 6-4 for their first win in six games.

Game 54: Yovani Gallardo's run support continues to be horrid, but he finally earns his first win of the season, limiting the Glovers to four singles over 7.1 innings of work (while striking out 11). Arthur Rhodes and Jason Frasor finish off a 2-1 win over LA.

Game 55: Jose Lopez hits a three-run homer in each of his first two at bats, and the Spectres reclaim a share of the division lead with a 9-5 victory over LA.

The second round of divisional play is next, with Montreal starting by hosting Philadelphia.

Game 59: Yovani Gallardo doesn't pitch as well as we're accustomed to, allowing two home runs and four runs in six innings of work, but gets some support from his friends for a change (including three scoreless innings from the bullpen) to earn his second straight win, 6-4 over Pittsburgh. Michael Cuddyer and Seth Smith have three hits apiece.

Game 60: Montreal snaps a 2-2 tie on Phil Reynolds' pinch-hit two-run double in the eighth. Jason Frasor, however, blows up in the ninth, allowing three hits and a walk before leaving with two down and men at the corners. Dallas Braden is no more effective, allowing an RBI single to Adrian Beltre. Melons up 6-5 after eight and a half. In the Spectre ninth, a single and a hit-by-pitch put two on with none out. After a fielder's choice, Michael Cuddyer ties the game with a single.  Evan Meek enters for Pittsburgh; Seth Smith wins it with a bloop single. Jose Lopez comes home with the winning run in a 7-6 squeaker.

Game 61: Ryan Garko has three extra base hits and drives in all four Pittsburgh runs while the Spectres are shut down by the Melon bullpen in a 4-2 defeat.
