Greenwell Helps Cubs Run Win Streak to 7
The Chicago Cubs powered past the Cleveland Spiders, 9-6, at Wrigley Field. Mike Greenwell went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4, to lead the charge. Reliever Doug Jones picked up the win. His record improves to 3-7. Masaki Saito took the loss. Frank DiPino notched his 4th save in 6 chances.

The Cubs got a lift from second baseman Geronimo Pena who had a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the first inning off Masaki Saito. It was his 68th RBI of the season and put Chicago in front, 1-0.

"This team is real focused right now," said Chicago manager Anthony Perez.

The wins continue to add up for Chicago, with the latest making it 7 in a row.
