Cleo James hit a homer in the third inning and drove in two more runs with a single in the sixth to pace the Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. After James hit his single with the bases loaded, Carmen Fanzone singled to supply what proved to be the winning run. Deron Johnson accounted for the Phillies' runs, hitting a homer with two men on base in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
