Keith Moreland drove in seven runs with a pair of three-run homers and a single as the Cubs battered Nolan Ryan for nine hits and nine runs in 2 1/3 innings en route to a 12-6 victory over the Astros. Moreland's first round-tripper came in the first inning and his second circuit blast came in the sixth. His run-scoring single came in the third. Randy Martz, who pitched seven strong innings to be the winning pitcher, also cracked a three-run double in the third inning. [The Sporting News]
