Dominant Performance by Langston in New York Win
The New York Yankees did just enough to sneak past the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, at Yankee Stadium. New York pitcher Mark Langston earned player of the game honors. The last-place Yankees have won 4 consecutive games.

Chicago had little success against Langston and his slider. Langston tossed 121 pitches over 8 innings for the Yankees.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Langston told a New York Chronicle reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
