SPORTSTICKER NL RECAP MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Vladimir Guerrero homered and tied a season high four RBI as the Montreal Expos thumped the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-4. Rondell White finished a single shy of the cycle and had two RBI for the Expos. They had nine extra-base hits, chased Brewers starter Scott Karl (5-2) during a four-run third inning and won for only the third time in their last 11 games. Guerrero also had four RBI in an Opening Day victory at Pittsburgh on April 5. In his last 10 games, he is 16-for-36 (.444) with five home runs and 14 RBI. Javier Vazquez (2-3) overcame a horrendus start for his first win since April 18, a span of six starts. He allowed four runs -- all in the first two innings -- and six hits over five-plus frames but retired nine of 10 batters from the third through the fifth. "It feels good to get a win, the guys played some good defense and that's what wins games," said Vazquez. "I didn't have my good command, especially early. But I settled down and helped keep the team in the game for the win." Anthony Telford yielded a hit and a walk over the final four innings for his first save since September 18 and third of his career. "I'm just thankful to get in a save situation because we have a guy over there who's going to get most of them," said Telford, pointing to Expos closer Ugueth Urbina. Montreal manager Felipe Alou celebrated his seventh anniversary with a win, improving to 548-523 since taking over the team on May 22, 1992. "I'd forgotten that actually, I thought it was longer than that," said Alou, who recounted his best memories. "The first year, 1992, because that club had just finished last and we ended up in second. Also, because that year (general manager) Dan Duquette said he was going to evaluate me as a manager. And '94 of course." Karl was hammered for six runs and nine hits over 2 2/3 innings, stopping his personal four-game winning streak. He fell to 3-1 lifetime against the Expos. "He struggled with his command a little bit tonight," said Brewers manager Phil Garner. "It wasn't that he was walking guys, he was just struggling with his command in the zone. He got the ball up and they made him pay for it. The balls that he got over the plate they hit and found the holes." Jeromy Burnitz staked the Brewers to a 1-0 lead with his 100th career homer in the first. But Karl gave that back as White had a run-scoring triple and Guerrero lifted a sacrifice fly to give Montreal a 2-1 lead. Vazquez, though, ran into more trouble in the second. Ron Belliard had an RBI triple, Karl a run-scoring double and Brian Banks capped the rally with a single but was thrown out trying to take second. The Expos rescued Vazquez in the bottom of the third. Ryan McGuire and White had consecutive doubles before Guerrero's single plated White with the tying run. He scored on a double by Manny Martinez, who was thrown out trying to advance on a sacrifice bunt by Mike Mordecai. Mordecai stole second and took third when catcher Dave Nilsson's throw sailed into center field. Orlando Cabrera singled home Mordecai and after Vazquez walked, Al Reyes relieved Karl and got Wilton Guerrero to end the inning. An RBI groundout by Vladimir Guerrero made it 7-4 in the fourth. Milwaukee threatened in the sixth, but Telford got Belliard to hit into an inning-ending double play. The Expos then hammered Brewers reliever Eric Plunk to put away the game. Vladimir Guerrero and Widger homered four pitches apart with one out in the seventh to extend the lead to 9-4. Telford drew a bases-loaded walk and Mordecai scored when first baseman Banks commited a fielding error on a ball hit by Wilton Guerrero. White homered to start the eighth and complete the scoring. Plunk had allowed two homers in 15 appearances before this contest. "Everybody swung the bats well," said White. "The pitching held and everyone is doing their job. We just have to go out there and keep working hard. I'm not trying to think too much up there, I have my confidence and I'm working every day with (hitting coach) Tom Harper." "We were still in the game but Plunker had a bad night," said Garner. "I just felt like that game was going to be our game, that we were going to come back and score a bunch of runs. But then Plunker had a tough night and it got out of hand with him.
