Cubs Win at Atlanta, 6-2
Chicago rode a decent outing from starter Eric King to victory over the Atlanta Braves at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. The final score was 6-2. In 7.2 innings, King surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 10 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Frank DiPino finished the game for Chicago and earned his 2nd save.

Chicago used the bat of Mike Piazza to get the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Piazza said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."

The Braves fall to 15-17 and continue their uneasy start to the 1994 season.
