Cubs Deal Astros 7-2 Defeat
Chicago Cubs starter Roy Sheldon kept the Houston Astros hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 7-2 win. In 9 innings, Sheldon surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The first-place Cubs have a one-game lead in their division.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Jim Rice to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cubs on top, 3-0. For the game, Rice had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Roy was pounding the zone," said Chicago manager Jeff Griggs.
