Montreal 12, San Diego 9 (10 inn.)

MONTREAL, May 7 (UPI) -- Vladimir Guerrero hit a three-run blast off Jaret Wright with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning Wednesday night to give the Montreal Expos a wild 12-9 victory over the San Diego Padres.

Montreal's Rocky Biddle let a 9-7 lead get away in the top of the ninth when he gave up a two-run double to Ramon Vazquez. It was his first blown save in eight chances this season.

But Endy Chavez drew a leadoff walk against Jesse Orosco (0-1) in the bottom of the 10th and was singled to third by Orlando Cabrera, who tied a career high with his fourth hit.

Wright relieved and got Jose Vidro to hit into a fielder's choice, forcing Chavez at the plate. Guerrero, who had gone 10 games without a home run, took a ball and fouled off three pitches before depositing Wright's next offering into the left-center field seats for the Expos' fourth walk-off homer of the season.

Guerrero's sixth home run made a winner of Biddle (3-1), who gave up two runs and three hits in two innings.
