Frank Robinson cried foul - with good reason.

The Montreal manager was irate Wednesday night after Luis Rivas' 11th-inning drive down the left-field line was called fair for a home run, sending the visiting Minnesota Twins to a 5-4 victory over the Expos.

Television replays clearly showed the ball hooked foul in front of the net that serves as a foul pole at Olympic Stadium, but third base umpire Brian O'Nora signaled fair. The rest of his crew conferred, then let the ruling stand.

"Four guys out there all saying that they saw it the same way - you've got to be kidding me!" Robinson said. "Didn't any of them see it the right way? That's the key. I don't care how they saw it, all four may have seen it one way, but it wasn't right."

Expos left fielder Brad Wilkerson immediately jumped up and down when he saw O'Nora call a fair ball. Wilkerson ran in to join the dispute with third baseman Tony Batista and Robinson, who was ejected after a long argument.

"I was close enough to see it, I don't need to see a replay," Wilkerson said.

The tiny crowd of 3,763 gave a mock cheer after every foul ball the rest of the inning. Three fans were swarmed by security guards after the game when they banged on the door to the umpire's room.

The umpires were not available for comment.

"The replay just confirmed what you saw, that's all," Robinson said. "In plain language, (O'Nora) said he saw it and he saw the ball hit the foul pole. He saw it shaking."

Juan Rincon (8-3) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. Joe Nathan got his 17th save in 18 opportunities.

Jeremy Fikac (0-2) took the loss, Montreal's fifth straight. Chad Cordero allowed two runs in the ninth, blowing his first save chance since replacing Rocky Biddle as the Expos' closer.

At Houston, Maddux (6-5) allowed one run and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings, pitching Chicago to its fifth consecutive victory. Todd Hollandsworth's RBI triple sparked a two-run eighth.
