Playing in his 256th game, Tim Blackwell hit his first major league homer, connecting with two men on base to spark the Cubs to a 10-7 victory over the Phillies. The catcher's blow came in the first inning when the Cubs erupted for six runs. Mike Vail, subbing for the injured Dave Kingman, went 4-for-4 and also drove in three runs, including two with a homer in the fifth inning. [The Sporting News]
