Cards help Cubs move ahead of Mets into first
By JONATHAN VITTI Associated Press Writer The Chicago Cubs have worked hard and fought long for first place in the National League East. They took over by winning seven of 10 games against their two division rivals, the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies. They displaced the Mets from the top for the first time since July 7 with Wednesday’s 5-4 victory over Philadelphia. It was the third consecutive one-run game between the teams, of which the Cubs have won two. With Jody Davis’ ninth-inning sacrifice fly, the winning run scored in the final inning for the second straight day. The Cubs hit three homers on Wednesday. They won because of a misplaced bunt that traveled barely 60 feet. “I’d certainly like to think the breaks go with you when you’re playing well,” Cubs Manager Jim Frey said. “It was a bad bunt that landed in a good place,” said Philadelphia Manager Paul Owens. “It was a big one for the Cubs, it put them in first. It could have been a big one for us.” The Phillies scored in the top of the ninth off reliever Lee Smith, 6-4, to draw even 44. But Henry Cotto led off the bottom of the inning with a double off Al Holland, 5-6, and the Phillies elected to walk Ryne Sandberg intentionally. Owens brought in right fielder Von Hayes as a fifth infielder. Gary Matthews attempted to bunt to the right side to put the runners in scoring position. But the ball struck Matthews’ bat near the label and what resulted was a lazy infield fly that landed left of the mound which Holland had just vacated in hopes of cutting off the bunt. “It hit the bat and it just jumped,” Matthews said. “Believe me, I was just trying to get it towards first.” That loaded the bases with none out, and after Keith Moreland struck out, Davis lined the game-winner to left. In other NL games, San Diego beat Los Angeles 4-3, Pittsburgh blanked Montreal 4-0, St. Louis trounced New York 11-2, Atlanta edged Houston 6-5 and Cincinnati topped San Francisco 6-3. Padres 4, Dodgers 3 Kevin Mcßeynolds went 4-for-4 and

JODY DAVIS Puts Cubs in first drove in three runs, including two on a solo homer and a tie-breaking eighth-inning double. Alejandro Pena, 11-6, got two outs in the eighth before Carmelo Martinez singled. Mcßeynolds then lined Pena’s first pitch to the center-field fence to score Martinez. Craig Lefferts, 2-3, pitched 1 1-3 innings to gain the victory, with Rich Gossage recording the final two outs for his 21st save. The victory was the fifth consecutive and eighth of nine for the Padres, who completed a sweep of their three-game home series with the Dodgers. Pirates 4, Expos 0 Larry McWilliams pitched a six-hitter and Lee Lacy’s two-run homer capped a four-run Pittsburgh sixth inning. McWilliams, 6-8, tossed his second shutout of the season. Lee Mazzilli led off the sixth with a triple down the left field line, but was thrown out at the plate on Jason Thompson’s grounder. Tony Pena’s double scored Thompson, and Johnny Ray followed with an RBI single. Lacy then stroked his eighth homer of the season. Charlie Lea, 14-6, pitching two days later than planned because of a stomach virus, failed for his third consecutive start to win his 15th game. Cardinals 11, Mets 2 Joaquin Andujar won his major league-

leading 15th game and St. Louis pounded out 17 hits against Dwight Gooden, 9-7, and two relievers as the Cardinals won their sixth in a row. The Mets dropped their sixth straight. “I was surprised to see us get 17 hits,” Andujar said. “I expected a four- or fivehitter because he (Gooden) is tough Andujar, 15-9, allowed seven hits and struck out five. It was his 10th complete game of the season, also tops in the majors. Braves 6, Astros 5 Dale Murphy’s league-leading 26th home run, a two-run shot in the eighth inning, gave Atlanta a comeback victory. Phil Garner’s RBI single and a two-run pinchsingle by Jim Pankovits gave Houston a 54 lead in the bottom of the seventh. Rafael Ramirez led off the eighth with a single and Murphy followed with his drive off reliever Julio Salano, 0-1. Reds 6, Giants 3 Gary Redus drove in three runs with a homer and a seventh-inning single while Joe Price hurled a four-hitter to send the visitors to their fourth straight defeat. Redus highlighted the three-run seventh inning with his RBI single. His two-run homer gave Cincinnati a 2-0 lead in the third. Nick Esasky added a sixth run with his eighth homer in the eighth inning. Bob Brenly drilled his 12th in the sixth.
