Cubs Drop Cardinals 9-3
|
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The top offense in the major leagues has surfaced again. Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella only asks
that his team try to minimize the lows. Mike Fontenot hit a three-run homer and had a career-best four RBIs, leading Chicago to a 9-3 victory over the Cardinals yesterday in St. Louis. Geovany Soto added a two-run double in a four-run sixth for the Cubs, who finished with 12 hits and are averaging six runs per game. They've also scored three or fewer in 13 games, five times during a recent stretch of six losses in eight games. Ted Lilly worked seven solid innings, recorded his 1,000th strikeout and added his second career extra-base hit. Kyle Lohse faced ten batters in the fourth and allowed eight runs overall in six-plus innings. |
