Piazza Helps Cubs Beat Rangers
Mike Piazza helped his team muscle past the Texas Rangers, 7-0. In the game, the Chicago catcher went 2-2 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Scott Chiamparino was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed no runs on 4 hits, with 6 walks and 2 strikeouts. Jim Corsi notched his 3rd save in 3 chances.

The Cubs used some clutch hitting to beat the Rangers, a good example being the at-bat of Geronimo Pena in the top of the fifth. With two down, Pena gave his team the lead, 1-0, when he hit a run-scoring single.

In postgame comments to the Chicago Herald, Piazza said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

Chicago now sits at 82-60, while Texas falls to 38-105.
