Cubs Roll Over Rangers, 9-3
Cubs designated hitter Mike Piazza put his stamp on his team's 9-3 win over the Texas Rangers. Piazza was 2 for 4 with a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Chicago in the contest. The Rangers, now 8-21, continue their slow start.

An important at-bat for Chicago came with no one out in the top of the fifth. With the bases loaded, Piazza hit a bases-clearing double, which contributed to the Cubs win.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Texas manager Sean Norman.
