Gonzalez Slugs Cubs to 12-5 Win
A 3-RBI performance from left fielder Luis Gonzalez, who finished 4th in the FL in triples with 7 in 1993, led the Chicago Cubs to a 12-5 win over the Cleveland Spiders. Scott Chiamparino got the win, improving to 10-6. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 5 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 2. Frank DiPino, credited with the save, is now 6 for 8 in save opportunities.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Scott Cooper to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs on top, 12-5. For the game, Cooper had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Gonzalez.

Chicago has now won 8 in a row.
