Belle Excels in 12-4 St. Louis Win
The St. Louis Cardinals trumped the Chicago Cubs, 12-4, at Wrigley Field. St. Louis left fielder Albert Belle was terrific. He went 2-2 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win for the Cardinals lifted their record to 92-61.

St. Louis used a well-timed hit by Travis Fryman to capture the win. The third baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 6-3. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Belle.
