Cubs Turn Back Detroit, 9-7
The Detroit Tigers got a superb performance from designated hitter Frank Howard. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Chicago. The Cubs won the game, 9-7. In spite of the loss, Howard was named the player of the game. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Tigers fall to 8-16 and continue their lackluster start in 1969.

Phil Rizzuto had a big 2-run single for the Cubs in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Chicago leading 7-4 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from Stan Belinda and stroked the single to center. It was his 29th hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 9-4.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Rizzuto told the Chicago Gazette.
