Montreal Wins, Méndez slugs 2 home runs
Juan Méndez was instrumental in his team's 6-3 triumph over the Seattle Rainiers. The third baseman was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Montreal Royals. With the win, Montreal pushed its record to 74-55.

Montreal took a 6-2 lead on Méndez's 38th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Bret Ballard in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Montreal to the win.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Méndez.
