Chicago Picks Up Another L
The 2000 season is getting uglier for Chicago.

Frank Catalanotto was instrumental in his team's 7-2 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. The shortstop went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Atlanta Braves. The losing skid has reached 7 games for Chicago.

With Atlanta leading 1-0 in the top of the fifth, Catalanotto hit a run-scoring single off Chicago hurler Ben Sheets. It was the 72nd hit of the season for Catalanotto and put his team ahead, 2-0.

Said Chicago manager Adam Spencer: "Different day, same result."
