A three-run outburst in the seventh inning carried the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Cardinals. The Cubs trailed, 2-1, in the seventh when Barry Foote stroked a leadoff single. Miguel Dilone ran for Foote, stole second and scored when Card pitcher John Fulgham threw away a bunt by Steve Dillard. Dillard, who reached second on the error, scored on a single by Ivan DeJesus, who then scored on a pinch-double by Mike Vail. [The Sporting News]
