Pasqua Slugs Cubs to 8-6 Win
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Dan Pasqua, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Minnesota Twins, 8-6. Pasqua was 2-2 with 2 home runs, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Cubs. Chicago reliever Tim Davis picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Carlos Almanzar shouldered the loss. The Cubs saw their record improve to 41-40.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 2nd and 3rd and two out in the bottom of the fifth inning. That's when second baseman Craig Shipley, who led the FL in doubles with 46 in 1987, drew a walk. The Cubs went on to win.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Shipley.
