Willie Montanez, who batted in four runs with a sacrifice fly, homer and single, played a big part in the Giants' 9-5 victory over the Cubs. Montanez' sacrifice and an error by Jose Cardenal put three runs on the board in the first inning.

The Cubs erupted for four runs in the fourth, but the Giants had a matching four-run outburst in the fifth, two scoring on Montanez' homer. Montanez singled for his fourth hit of the game in the seventh and crossed the plate on a double by Chris Speier. [The Sporting News]
