Mike Piazza left his imprint on the 6-2 Chicago win against the Orlando Devil Rays. Piazza, who finished 3rd in the FL in OPS with .969 in 1995, was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. The 'W' lifts Chicago's record to 48-52.

The Cubs got a big at-bat from right fielder Trot Nixon. For the game, Nixon was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fifth, with the bases loaded, he stroked a grand slam home run. His 12th home run of the season gave Chicago a 5-2 lead.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Piazza.
