Chapman Lifts Dodgers to 9-2 Triumph
The Brooklyn Dodgers handed the Chicago Cubs a loss at Wrigley Field. The final score was 9-2. Sam Chapman was one of the major contributors for Brooklyn. In addition to his 3 singles and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. With the loss, Chicago is 9-6.

Bob Joyce had a big grand slam home run for the Dodgers in the top of the third inning. With Brooklyn leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he sized up a forkball from 38-year old left-handed pitcher Oscar Judd and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Dodgers on top, 8-1.

"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager Charlie Grimm.
