Cubs Get Road Win, 8-2
Chicago Cubs starter Angel Miranda pitched effectively against the Orlando Devil Rays at Orlando Citrus Bowl. The left-hander spearheaded his team's 8-2 win. Miranda went the distance for Chicago. He gave up 2 earned runs on 5 hits. The 'W' lifts Chicago's record to 67-82.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Mike Piazza, the 1995 Most Valuable Player winner . Piazza contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Chicago up, 4-1.

"I liked his command," said Chicago manager Anthony Perez. "Angel was throwing strikes."
