MONTREAL (AP) _ Rondell White hit a two-run single off Jeff Shaw in the ninth as the Montreal Expos beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 Wednesday night after wasting a two-run lead an inning earlier.

On a night when Orel Hershiser made his first appearance for the Dodgers since Aug. 7, 1994, the Dodgers trailed 4-2 until pinch-hitter Dave Hansen's three-run homer in the eighth off Ugueth Urbina, who led the NL with 41 saves last season.

The drive off a speaker suspended from the Olympic Stadium roof above right field was Hansen's his seventh career pinch homer.

But Shaw couldn't hold the lead, and the Dodgers lost for the first time in three games. Following a 5-1 start last year, Los Angeles lost nine of its next 14 and dropped out of contention.

Trace Coquillette singled leading off the ninth, Peter Bergeron reached on a bunt single and Jose Vidro, who earlier doubled twice, got on when second baseman Mark Grudzielanek mishandled his grounder.

White then singled up the middle, easily scoring the tying and winning runs.

Anthony Telford (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win, allowing two hits.

Hershiser, who signed with the Dodgers during the offseason as a free agent, allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. Last July 22 at Olympic Stadium while pitching for the New York Mets, he got his 200th career win.

Expos starter Javier Vazquez, who threw a one-hitter last Sept. 14 at Dodger Stadium, allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings, giving up a solo homer to Adrian Beltre in the sixth.

Lee Stevens went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a walk for the Expos. Stevens, acquired from Texas on March 16 in a three-player trade that sent first baseman Brad Fullmer to Toronto, hit an RBI single off Hershiser that put Montreal ahead 2-1 in the first. He added a bases-loaded, two-run single off the 41-year-old right-hander in the fifth.

Expos manager Felipe Alou pointed his finger and shouted at Hershiser after he hit Vladimir Guerrero on the left shoulder with a pitch that loaded the bases in the fifth.

With Alou continuing to yell at Hershiser from the dugout, Stevens blooped a 1-1 pitch into left field for a 4-1 lead.

Beltre went 3-for-4, including a double in fourth. Needing a triple to hit for the cycle, he grounded to first in the eighth.

Gary Sheffield tripled off the center-field wall to drive in his fifth run of the season in the first inning. Vidro's RBI double tied the score in the bottom half.
