In his first season, Sampen had a record of 12-7 and led the 1990 Montreal Expos in victories on a pitching staff that included Dennis Martinez, Oil Can Boyd and Kevin Gross. He made his MLB debut at age 27 on April 10, 1990, with two innings of one-hit relief in a 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
