Montreal Expos bombardier Dale Murphy set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club took a 14-6 win over the Minnesota Twins today.

"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Murphy told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."

For the game, the Montreal first baseman had 4 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 4 runs.

Dale Murphy hit a two-run home run off Mark Fidrych in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Tom Hausman in the 4th and hit a solo-shot off Tom Hausman in the 7th.
