Despite giving up 15 hits, Ken Frailing had a relatively easy time in going the route, chipping in with three hits and three RBIs as the Cubs pasted the Giants, 12-4. The Cubs spotted the Giants a 2-0 lead in the first, then countered with single runs in each of their first two at-bats before taking the lead for keeps on Frailing's two-run single in the fourth. Chicago batted out loser Mike Caldwell during a five-run sixth in which they sent 10 men to the plate. Jose Cardenal drove in two runs with a single and Frailing added another RBI with a hit. Andre Thornton capped the 18-hit Cub attack with a three-run homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
