Cubs Prove Rude Guests, Win 7-5 at St. Louis
With first baseman Mike Piazza leading the charge, the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-5, at Busch Stadium. Piazza, who finished 3rd in the FL in slugging percentage with .601 in 1995, was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The Cardinals drop to 11-15 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1997 season.

In the top of the first, Piazza pounced on a full count fastball from Jason Jacome and hit a 2-run home run. It put Chicago on top, 2-0.

"I had some good swings out there," said Piazza.
