Cubs Drop 9-3 Decision
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Willie Horton, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago (N) Cubs, 9-3. Horton went 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Cardinals. Johnny Welch, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 4 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 2-1. St. Louis, now 10-6, has played well in the early going.

With St. Louis leading 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Horton hit a sinker from Henderson Alvarez III for a grand slam home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 8-3.

"You just play the game as right as you can and see where you end up," said Cardinals manager David Mandel.
