Ruise Handcuffs Expos, Royals Seize 1-0 Advantage in R2
The stakes were high. Mekhi Ruise was ready.

The left-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Labatt Park today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Kansas City Royals to victory in Game 1 of the Division Series. Ruise held the Montreal Expos to 5 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 5. The win got the best-of-5 series off to a good start for Kansas City, which now leads 1-0.

Ruise pitched a complete game for Kansas City. The left-hander was charged with no runs on 5 hits. He struck out 5 during his 100-pitch performance.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Ruise told reporters after the game.

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at Labatt Park in Montreal. Slated to start are Triston Casas for Kansas City and Jose Berrios for Montreal.
