Taking advantage of a defensive collapse, the Cubs scored six runs in the sixth inning and gained a 6-4 victory to knock the Phillies seven games behind the Pirates and 1½ behind the Cardinals in the East Division. Five of the Cubs' the runs were unearned. Ray Burris opened the inning with a single and when Dave Rosello bunted, both runners were safe when Johnny Oates booted the ball. Joe Wallis drove in a run with a single.
