Quote: "That's a big crowd to us. It looked packed."

-- manager Felipe Alou, whose Expos are averaging a major-league-low 10,363 at home, on playing before Tropicana Field's smallest crowd, 24,025.

It's a fact: The Twins' Mike Morgan, who has pitched for a record-tying 10 clubs, is 5-17 lifetime against the Pirates and has more career losses against them than any team.

Who's hot: The Blue Jays' Carlos Delgado has a 15-game hitting streak.

Who's not: White Sox second baseman Ray Durham struck out five times.

On deck: Devil Rays rookie starter Rolando Arrojo (8-3), who has reached eight wins faster than any other pitcher for a first-year expansion club, faces Expos rookie Trey Moore (2-5) today.
