Big Day for Matranga in 10-7 Cubs Win
Getting offensive support from Dave Matranga, the Chicago Cubs topped the Montreal Expos, 10-7. Matranga went 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Cubs. Picking up the win was Wilson Alvarez. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 2 and walked 2. Chicago is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 6th win in 18 games.

Pokey Reese hit a 2-run double off Jimmy Haynes in the top of the fourth, which put the Cubs in front, 4-3. In addition to the double, Reese had 1 single, while going 2 for 5.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Matranga told the Chicago Citizen.
