The Chicago (N) Cubs marched over the Texas Rangers, 13-1, at Wrigley Field. Willy Aybar, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in doubles with 7, led the charge. He went 4 for 4 with 3 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Colborn. He tossed 121 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits. The Rangers are now 6-9.

Matt Williams, who is tied for 8th in the NL with a .429 on-base percentage, chipped in a 3-run home run for Chicago (N) in the bottom of the first. For the game, the third baseman had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 1 run scored, and 5 RBI.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Aybar told the Chicago (N) Citizen.
