Montreal ? The Atlanta Braves didn’t give Vladimir Guerrero anything to hit and wish they’d treated Wil Cordero the same way.

Cordero hit his third career grand slam and had five RBIs to lead the Montreal Expos to a 10-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday before the third-largest Olympic Stadium crowd of the season.

Montreal's Wil Cordero rounds third after hitting a grand slam off Atlanta's Damian Moss in the third inning of Sunday's game.

“He’s been getting big hits for us big, big hits,” Expos manager Frank Robinson said. “He got a couple of real big hits for us in Philadelphia coming off the bench and today was a real big blow.”

Cordero, who started in left field in place of newly acquired Cliff Floyd, homered on an 0-2 pitch from Damian Moss (4-4) after Guerrero drew the second of his four walks to load the bases with two out in the third.

“(Moss) had him looking funny on the two changeups,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said. “He was going to waste one and then come back to it. He just screwed up.”

Guerrero showed uncustomary patience 19 of his 50 walks have been intentional as Moss issued eight of Atlanta’s 11 walks.

“It was just that they weren’t going to pitch to him,” Robinson said.

“That was the main thing. He does show patience from time to time but he’s very aggressive the most aggressive hitter here on the ballclub and I don’t mind that.”

With 25,109 on hand only Montreal’s third crowd over 20,000 this season for a Tim Raines bobblehead promotion, the second-place Expos split the four-game series to draw to within 91/2 games of Atlanta in the NL East.

“We hope they saw things they liked out there and hopefully they’ll come back again and support us,” Robinson said. “We certainly appreciate it.”
