CINCINNATI, June 4 (UPI) -- Brad Wilkerson homered twice Friday night, including a go-ahead, two-run shot in the seventh, lifting Montreal to a 4-2 win over Cincinnati.
Wilkerson went three for four with three RBI and is batting .467 with four home runs and five RBI against the Reds this season. Eight of his last nine hits have been for extra bases -- five home runs and three doubles.
Expos starter Zach Day (4-6), a Cincinnati native pitching in front of his hometown crowd for the first time, allowed two runs and four hits in six innings to earn just his second win in seven starts.
Luis Ayala pitched a scoreless seventh and Chad Cordero a perfect eighth before Rocky Biddle worked out of trouble in the ninth for his 11th save in 13 opportunities.
The game was tied, 2-2, before Terrmel Sledge led off the seventh with a bunt single against Reds starter Jose Acevedo (3-4). Two outs later, Wilkerson sent a 3-2 offering over the wall in right for his ninth homer of the season.
