Reggie Smith had a perfect day at bat with two homers, a double and two singles, driving in five runs, but his efforts were not enough for the Cardinals, who lost to the Cubs, 8-6. Geoff Zahn, obtained from the Dodgers, made his first start for the Cubs and left in the fourth inning when the Cards took a 3-2 lead. Smith, who homered in the fourth, hit for the circuit again in the fifth.
