James 4-5 as Cubs Squeeze Past New York
The Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees, 5-4, at Yankee Stadium. The Cubs got a fine performance from designated hitter Dion James, who captured player of the game honors. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times. The winner was Randy Tomlin, who threw 116 pitches over 8 innings. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs on 9 hits. The Cubs bumped their record to 27-19 with this latest triumph.

Chicago took a 5-3 lead on James's 2nd home run of the season. The solo home run, which he hit off Mike J Grace in the top of the seventh, propelled Chicago to the win.

"The more wins we pile up," said James, "the more I like our chances."
