Cubs Mow Down Knights, 12-4
|
The Chicago Cubs downed the Charlotte Knights, 12-4, at Comiskey Park. The Cubs were led by Luis Gonzalez, who captured player of the game honors. He went 4-5 with 4 singles and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 times. Randy Tomlin earned the win for Chicago. He lasted 7.2 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 3 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 1-2. With their winning streak at 4, the Cubs have raced to a strong start this season.
Chicago right fielder Trot Nixon had a key at-bat for the Cubs in the top of the third inning. Facing left-hander Erik Hanson, Nixon hit a grand slam. It put Chicago in front, 5-2. For the day, Nixon was 1-5 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once.
"Baseball is about momentum," said Nixon, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
