Multi-HR Game for Gonzalez in 9-5 Win
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Luis Gonzalez, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-5. Gonzalez hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Cubs. Frank DiPino picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-2. Guy Hoffman was tagged with the loss. Chicago improves to 9-8 as they look to defend their championship.

The contest featured some late-game dramatics from Chicago left fielder Luis Gonzalez. In the top of the ninth inning, with one out and the bases loaded, Gonzalez drew a walk, driving in 1 run to help Chicago seize the win.

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