Phillies Rally For 8-5 Win
Gorman Thomas had a good game, but he could not keep the Chicago Cubs from falling, 8-5, to the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field. The Chicago left fielder was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs in the loss. The loss drops the Cubs to 1-2.

Frank Taveras, the 22-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Taveras contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Philadelphia up, 4-3.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Taveras told the Philadelphia Observer.
